Our role

Tourism Tasmania is the Tasmanian Government’s tourism marketing agency. Our role is to create demand for travel to Tasmania by connecting people culturally and emotionally to the state through domestic and international marketing programs that activate the Tasmanian tourism brand.

Be a brand ambassador

Tasmania is no ordinary place and Tasmanians are no ordinary people. It is a place where our visitors can discover soul-enriching experiences that are raw, beautiful and honest. Tourism Tasmania’s Come Down For Air brand is a platform for communicating what makes Tasmania a distinct destination.

Create a free listing on ATDW

Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) is Australia’s largest tourism online database. It allows Tasmanian tourism operators to easily promote their business or event on numerous digital platforms that connect directly to consumers. Listing your business with ATDW means you will get exposure on travel websites around Australia, including Tasmania’s official travel website, Discover Tasmania, which receives over 2 million visits a year.

See Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) for more information.

Keep us informed

Monthly operator showcases are run in conjunction with the regional tourism organisations (RTOs), to allow tourism operators to brief the Tourism Tasmania team on their product or experience. These sessions are a great opportunity for new businesses or existing operators with new offerings to keep us informed.

If you are interested in presenting your product, please contact your RTO or if you would like further information, email famils@tourism.tas.gov.au

Get active on social media

Social media presents a great opportunity for you to engage with consumers. Create captivating social media videos and stories to showcase what makes your product or experience special.

We encourage you to share your Come Down For Air moments on your social media platforms of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Tagging @Tasmania on Facebook or including the hashtag #DiscoverTasmania on Twitter and Instagram is a fantastic way to increase exposure of your product to a large audience of potential customers. For winter-related content use #TassieOffSeason.

Encourage your staff, guests, friends, and family to share their experiences of your product on social media and to use the hashtag – more shares means more exposure. Make sure to add your relevant regional tourism organisation’s hashtag to your posts too.

See our social media page for more on how to get involved and our social media terms of use.

Get trade ready

Have you considered marketing your business domestically and overseas? You can choose a range of distribution partners to work with based on what suits your business, including retail travel agents, online travel agents, wholesalers and inbound tour operators.
