About Us
One of Tasmania’s oldest and most important industries. Discover how tourism has shaped communities right across the state.
Tourism has empowered Tasmanian communities statewide, creating jobs, strengthening our economy, supporting infrastructure development and enhancing local services, recreational activities and our quality of life.
With 1 in 6 Tasmanian jobs supported by tourism, more than any other state in Australia, Tourism Tasmania is the Tasmanian Government’s lead tourism agency. We’re responsible for marketing Tasmania as a destination and supporting a strong, sustainable visitor economy.
Our focus is growing sustainable visitation that benefits Tasmanian communities, businesses and the environment. We develop and deliver marketing campaigns that position Tasmania nationally and internationally, while sharing the industry intelligence, strategic guidance and practical support our operators need to succeed.

2030 Vision
By 2030, the visitor economy will be valued by Tasmanians for its positive impact to our environment, prosperity and way of life, and Tasmania will be valued by visitors for being a genuinely different experience.
As the lead agency for the 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy, we coordinate with government and industry to deliver on shared goals. That means promoting and protecting Tasmania through a visitor economy that champions our natural environment, grows our prosperity and empowers visitors to make a positive contribution to island life.
Honouring Tasmania's people and places
We are committed to ongoing and meaningful engagement with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. Our role as a marketing organisation should support their aspirations for involvement in the sector, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Agencies we work with
We work in close partnership with Tasmania’s tourism industry, regional tourism organisations and government. Through collaboration, research and a shared commitment to Tasmania’s unique brand, we help build capability across the sector and ensure our state’s tourism offering continues to grow.
Tourism Industry Council Tasmania is a not-for-profit, member-based organisation, promoting the value of tourism and advocating on behalf of the industry.
