Education needs of the Tourism Industry - Survey Results

Education needs of the Tasmanian Tourism Industry Survey

In May the Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania, Tourism Tasmania and the University of Tasmania undertook a joint survey to gain a better understanding of the requirements of the Tasmanian tourism industry for University graduates.

This short survey was sent to tourism operators across Tasmania and to key allied tourism service organisations (including Government, Council, marketing and consulting companies) so as to determine the level of recruitment of graduates with a tourism focus over the last five years, and to estimate needs for the next five years.

The survey results and comments are being complied by Tourism Tasmania to assist the University to continue to improve its delivery of future courses and programs suited to the tourism industry across the State. It will also assist the University in working with the VET sector and other training providers in the State to address the training and educational needs of the tourism industry.

A summary of the educational needs survey can be viewed in the attachments section of this page.

Tourism Industry Council Tasmania's 2010/11 Tasmanian Budget Analysis

The Tourism Industry Council Tasmania (TICT) is an active participant in the Budget process, providing a written submission on behalf of the tourism industry each year. The TICT provided a submission to the Tasmanian Government for the 2010/11 Budget.

The TICT's 3 key priorities for budget funding were:

Destination Marketing and Events
Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) Redevelopment
The Three Capes Track

The TICT considers this to be a sound budget that delivers on the key election commitments and returns funding of tourism, events and parks to sustainable levels in line with historical allocations.
