The Tasmanian Government, through its tourism agency – Tourism Tasmania – developed the state’s 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy, in partnership with the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania.
This strategy, released in 2023, committed to enforcing principles of co-design and shared decision-making with First Nations people to support their participation in the tourism sector, working together to shape the visitor economy and achieve the greatest positive impact.
The Tasmanian Government agreed to engage with First Nations people, businesses and organisations to ensure programs of capacity building and business support for Aboriginal tourism businesses are in alignment with identified aspirations and goals and sit within the Closing the Gap National Agreement – Tasmanian Implementation Plan.
The strategy will prioritise Tasmania’s protected areas and the development of ‘authentic Tasmanian experiences’, including support for First Nations tourism initiatives and programs, which will shape policy frameworks for the remainder of the decade.
