2011 Tasmanian Tourism Awards Now Open

27-May-2011 | The Minister for Tourism, Scott Bacon, has encouraged local businesses to enter this year's Tasmanian Tourism Awards.

"Local tourism operators showcase the best of what this state has to offer, and these awards are a fantastic way for us to celebrate their achievements," he said.

"Our tourism operators give visitors unforgettable and engaging holiday experiences, and I would encourage them to enter this year's awards."

Mr Bacon said the 2011 Tasmanian Tourism Awards covered 27 categories, including attractions, tours and transport, events and festivals and accommodation.

He said businesses that won awards this year would be automatically eligible for the national awards.

"Winning one of the 2011 Tasmanian Tourism Awards delivers recognition for a tourist operator's excellent work, and helps remind potential visitors of the wide variety of experiences we have on offer," he said.

Mr Bacon said operators interested in taking part would be able to take advantage of a series of workshops held by the Tourism Industry Council and Tourism Tasmania to help businesses with their entries on August 3,4 and 5.

He said entries close on September 9, with winners of the Tasmanian awards to be announced at a Gala Dinner on November 11.
