TASPORTS and Tourism Industry Council Tasmania (TICT) have partnered to launch a new education module designed to help tourism operators take advantage of the state’s growing cruise industry.
The new ‘Tassie Cruise Tourism’ module aims to strengthen understanding of how the segment contributes to the local visitor economy.
Operators and volunteers will be given insights into the logistics of cruise tourism and strategies to encourage visitors to explore more experiences across Tasmania.
“Every year the cruise industry injects around $140 to $150 million into Tasmania’s economy supporting local tour operators, small businesses and regional employment,” TasPorts Chief Executive Officer Anthony Donald said.
“Helping Tasmanian businesses capture the benefits of having these vessels in port is one of the reasons why we have partnered with Tourism Industry Council Tasmania to develop its latest Tassie Cruise Spotlight training module.”
CLIA MD Joel Katz welcomed the initiative, which he said reinforced Tasmania’s “competitive position as a compelling destination for cruise passengers and wider tourism” – CLICK HERE.
