Guy Barnett,Acting Minister for Tourism, Hospitality and Events
Congratulations to all the Tasmanian recipients of the prestigious Australian Hotels Association National Awards for Excellence, who were recognised at a presentation dinner held in Hobart this evening.
Among our award winners were MacQ01 Hotel, taking home the coveted Overall Hotel of the Year Accommodation Division, while Saffire Freycinet won the Deluxe Accommodation category.
Best Superior Accommodation was jointly won by the Ship Inn Stanley and Cataract of Paterson took out Outstanding Achievement in Training.
While providing an opportunity for us to celebrate our industry leaders, these awards also gave us a chance to acknowledge the challenges the national sector has faced over the past two years.
I am continuously impressed, and proud of not only the resilience of Tasmanian tourism and hospitality operators, but also their innovation and optimism as our industry and state moves from recovery to prosperity and growth.
