25.01.2022 There was plenty to celebrate for Launceston's tourism industry last night!

24.01.2022 The Australian Tourism Industry Council today announced they will not be offering a Qantas Australian Tourism Awards program in 2020. Some States may still choose to offer their own State Awards program, but they will not form part of any national awards program. TICT has resolved to NOT run a Tasmanian Tourism Awards program in 2020.... We recently surveyed all our recent entrants about their attitudes towards running an awards program this year. It’s fair to say there were equally strong and very well articulated arguments on both sides about whether we should run or not run an Awards program in 2020. Ultimately, we concluded that a major reason why many of our operators enter the Tasmanian Tourism Awards program is the opportunity to be judged alongside the very best in Australian tourism at the national level. With no Qantas Australian Tourism Awards this year, it removes a major incentive for entrants, and based on the responses to our survey and the COVID-19 shutdown impacting so many businesses and their capacity to compete in such a demanding program, we’ve made the call to have a break this year. As a small State with lower entries than others, we also have financial considerations for our organisation. TICT has a series of industry programs to roll-out over coming weeks and months to support operators through the COVID-shutdown and build for the recovery. Our energies and limited resources are best directed into this right now. TICT enormously values and invests in the Tasmanian Tourism Awards program each year. It pains us to write this. As an industry we’re so proud of the effort all our entrants make in the program each year, and the sense of achievement and pride their success in the program gives their fellow operators, especially those who achieve success at the national awards. The Awards in Canberra in March were a triumph. Be assured, the Tasmanian Tourism Awards will be back in 2021, when hopefully we have a more certain industry outlook. One thing to look forward to is an amazing new Awards ‘Weindorfer Trophy; we have commissioned for this year. Tom Samek is no longer able to produce his trophy designs each year, and has encouraged us to work with another great Tasmanian designer on an exciting new design, that re-interprets our Awards program, and the inspiration of Gustav Weindorfer’s story. We’ll have this ready for 2021. We want to pay particular tribute to Sam, who is the best Tourism Awards Coordinator in the country, along with our Chair of Judges, Allison Stubbs. We’re sure they’ll both be back in 2021. Luke Martin Chief Executive Officer Tourism Industry Council Tasmania

16.01.2022 After five years and 140-odd hand-crafted trophies, Tom Samek has called time on producing his wonderful 'Weindorfer Trophy'. Tom's award trophies have been an integral part of the Tasmanian Tourism Awards program over recent years, capturing in Tasmanian art, our tourism industry's heritage, Tasmania's celebrated natural environment, and our commitment to quality and excellence. At Tom's request, we're offering the opportunity for another Tasmanian artist to take his curr...ent design and the story of Kate and Gustav Weindorfer, to serve as the inspiration for a new look 'Weindorfer Trophy' to be awarded to Tasmanian Tourism Award winners for the next five years. This unique and high profile art commissioning is open to any Tasmanian designer or artist. For more information follow the link:
