Attention! The state government is calling for a NEW operator to host The Taste of Tasmania Festival this year!
This comes after reports that the Hobart City Council has chosen to step back from organising the city’s summer highlight event of the year.
Premier Peter Gutwein said they will be taking submissions this weekend for anyone who is interested in running the $1.6 million Taste style event over Hobart’s waterfront this Christmas/New Year’s.
Many people including Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds are very pleased that the government is actively seeking a partner for the Taste of Tasmania.
Reynolds said, “The Taste of Tasmania generates huge economic and social benefits to Tasmania, not just Hobart, worth around $47 million a year to the state”.
The event holds significant importance to the tourism and hospitality sector, and the broader economy.
