Date Time Tasmanian tourism’s ticket to recovery Tasmania’s tourism operators, hotels, caravan parks and restaurants are set for a rush of tourists as part of a new $1.2 billion support package from the Morrison Government. Assistant Minister for Industry Development Jonno Duniam said 800,000 half-priced airfares would be provided under the package to get Australians travelling and supporting tourism businesses. “Discounts will be offered on tens of thousands of fares per week across an initial 13 key tourism regions, including Launceston, Devonport and Burnie,” Assistant Minister Duniam said. “We know that when $1 is spent on a ticket, $10 is spent on the ground, which will give Tasmania’s economy the boost it needs as it recovers.
