🌟 Connecting with Industry: Hospitality Tasmania Regional Roadshow

Our West Coast Visitor Information Centre team recently attended the Hospitality Gateway to Growth event hosted by Hospitality Tasmania in Strahan.

This engaging session brought together industry professionals to connect, share ideas and explore opportunities for growth across Tasmania’s hospitality sector. It was a fantastic chance to meet the Hospitality Tasmania Board, connect with their dedicated team, and network with corporate partners and peers from across the region.

Events like these are a valuable reminder of the importance of collaboration and staying connected within our industry with our team also getting updated about what is on offer from operators - all helping to us to provide quality visitor servicing.

Thank you to Hospitality Tasmania for hosting the event 👏
