Tourism Tasmania

Tourism Tasmania is the Tasmanian government's tourism authority.

It regularly partners with the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania in issues related to policies and plans.[1] In a number of governments, the Tasmanian Premier has also been Minister for Tourism.[2]

Re-incorporation

The Tasmanian Government Tourist Bureau had office in all the capital cities of the states of Australia before the Second World War.[3][4]

By July 1987 the Department of Tourism was renamed from the Tasmanian Government Tourist Bureau to Tourism Tasmania.[5]

In 1989 Tourism Tasmania was amalgamated with the Department of Sport and Recreation to become the Department of Tourism, Sport and Recreation.

In 1997 Tourism Tasmania was established as a statutory authority.

In August 2002 the Department of Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts incorporated Tourism Tasmania.

Tourism Tasmania became a stand-alone State Authority from 1 July 2014.[6]

At various stages it has been also incorporated into other departments:
