TOURISM

It's no secret that Tasmania has been undergoing a quiet cultural revolution of late. Against a background of natural beauty and rich history, a new-look Tasmania has emerged. While we may be Australia's smallest state, Tasmania is also the most geographically diverse with more than 48 per cent reserved in national parks and World Heritage Areas.

Unique from the rest of Australia, direct flights from Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide or Perth, offer visitors an escape for the senses.

Tasmania produces a variety of famous seafood, delicious artisan cheeses, mouth-watering berries, black truffles, premium beef and lamb, saffron, wasabi, honey, extra virgin olive oil and much more.

Tasmania also boasts jaw dropping wilderness experiences (eco cruises, multi-day guided walks, scenic flights and more), five World Heritage listed convict sites, some of Australia's best golf courses and award winning paddock-to-plate experiences, unique cultural attractions as well as a range of luxury and boutique accommodation.

Tourism has grown to become a significant industry within the Tasmanian economy.  Tourism in Tasmania directly and indirectly contributes around $3.03 billion to the Gross State Product with a direct contribution of $1.44 billion (around 4.9 per cent) and an indirect contribution of a further $1.58 billion (around 5.4 per cent). Tasmania's tourism industry is made up of around 1 823 separate businesses and directly supports around 18 900 jobs in Tasmania or about 7.9 per cent of total Tasmanian employment (Source: Fast Facts, Tourism Tasmania June 2018).
