1 Talking Tourism Episode 145 - Positive impact through food with Mindy Woods 26:45
26:45 Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like Curtido26:45
Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like CurtidoFormer physiotherapist, 2012 Masterchef Australia finalist, and most recently CEO of Sydney's Lotus Dining Group, Mindy Woods is currently studying sustainable horticulture and bush food with the goal of protecting native foods, the environment and re-igniting Indigenous culture. You must taste a culture to truly understand it. That’s why Mindy, a proud First Nations woman, opened her very own native inspired restaurant Karkalla on Ancestral country, creating opportunities for indigenous and non-indigenous people to connect with Aboriginal culture, art, and stories through food. Visit Northern Tasmania CEO, Tracey Mallett, sat down with Mindy at the 2023 Tasmanian Tourism Conference where they discussed all things native Tasmanian food and the many ways in which this can be incorporated into tourism and hospitality businesses. If you are into your food – and let’s be honest, who isn’t? – then you must give this episode a listen. Food is a natural connector – you already have people’s buy-in before they take their first bite. But there’s so many opportunities to tell the story behind the food. Mindy explains how we, as Australians, come from the land of the original storytellers. We come from such a rich and abundant culture, and we often forget this and what’s in our own backyards. Australians travel elsewhere for food experiences, but we have the world’s oldest surviving civilisation and ingredients right here. Behind every producer and their land is a great story to tell, and it’s by collaborating and connecting with others – especially the Tasmanian Aboriginal community – that you discover what this story is and how you can share it with visitors and locals alike. It is within these conversations and learnings that positive impact is maximised. Today’s episode is brought to you by our partner, VXT. VXT is a purpose-built organization with the sole purpose to train a hospitality and tourism workforce to deliver the Tasmanian workforce. VXT offers an array of industry-led, outcome-focused training courses both online and around Tasmania.

Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like CurtidoTalking Tourism Episode 144 – Tourism strategy…without the BS with Tom Wootton & Anne Greentree. Both Tom and Anne have had (and continue to have) an incredible influence on tourism in Tasmania. Among many things, Tom was the inaugural CEO of the regional tourism organisation, West by North West. Whereas, Anne has spent the past four years as the Director Visitor Economy Strategy at Tourism Tasmania. While in this role, Anne has worked alongside the state government and industry to develop the 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy – which is now live (and can be read here ). In today’s episode, TICT CEO Amy Hills sits down with Tom and Anne to chat all about tourism strategy – a topic which they delivered a Day 1 workshop at the 2023 Tasmanian Tourism Conference. Whether you are starting out fresh in the industry, or thinking it’s time to review , having a strategy in place for your business doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Tom and Anne say to simplify it into 3 steps: your current state, your future state, and the steps in between. Ask yourself: What am I doing now? Where do I want to be? What are the steps to get there? However, it is important that you also take into consideration the future vision of the tourism industry as a whole and the future vision for Tasmania as a destination. This is where the 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy comes in. Not only does it detail the vision, values and themes, but it shares the forecasting work which has been undertaken to understand the global and domestic factors of what future demand could look like for Tasmania. Strategy is different from operator to operator, but every business needs a purpose and vision. All it takes is to think about how you are different from your competitors and how you complement the Tasmanian brand. It is important that the steps you take to achieve this vision are SMART: Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Relevant; and Time-bound. Today’s episode is brought to you by our partner, Cumulus Studio . Cumulus Studio is an award-winning architecture and interior design practice with offices in Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne and Adelaide Among its most notable Tasmanian tourism designs are the award-winning Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre and the iconic Pumphouse Point.

1 Talking Tourism Episode 143 - How to market your inclusive tourism experience with Hailey Brown 27:22
27:22 Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like Curtido27:22
Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like CurtidoRecognised as one of Australia’s nine most influential female entrepreneurs, Hailey Brown has become a catalyst for change within the tourism industry. Upon recognising that blind and low-vision tourists were precluded from travelling as tourism marketing is visual, she created the world’s first sensory audio tourism app, Vacayit . She is highly experienced in the field of accessible tourism, universal design, inclusion, and diversity and aims to drive positive societal change around how destinations and operators market their experiences. Visit Northern Tasmania ’s Chief Executive Officer, Tracey Mallett, sits down with Hailey at the 2023 Tasmanian Tourism Conference where she presented on how tourism operators can market their inclusive tourism experience. Hailey gets straight to the point and says it all comes down to operators making a start and simply considering people with disability. Ask yourself the question, are you thinking of every single customer? 1 in 5 people live with disability in Australia – and this includes a vast array of physical and mental disabilities. Start off by targeting one, and the continue to build off that. Further to this, Hailey says it’s about both infrastructure and experience. It’s more than just widening a doorway or putting a ramp in – it’s about every touchpoint of the visitor journey. Resources such as Tourism Australia as well as peak bodies and service providers have lots of information that will point you in the right direction to get started. But it all starts by asking and listening to people with disability – asking the question, what can make your experience better? Disability awareness training for your staff is a very good starting point as it will teach your staff to be welcoming of everyone. There is also a lot of opportunity within technology. Hailey’s organisation, Vacayit, creates immersive sensory audio guides for people who are blind and vision impaired off the back of recognising an obvious gap in how tourism operators were marketing their products and experiences purely off of sight alone. Hailey is hopeful that Tasmania’s tourism industry – one that thrives off of working collaboratively – can lead the way in accessible tourism experiences. If you want to take that first step and to look at your business through an accessible lens, please contact Hannah Lang, our Quality Tourism Advisor, who can provide you free access to complete the Accessibility Accreditation Module.

She has an undeniable passion for all things in the digital space, and her favourite things are strategic planning, marketing tactics, social media management and digital advertising. Taihlaura is also a Launceston Tamar Valley Tourism Association (LTVTA) committee member, where she’s been able to use her marketing prowess to provide more avenues for tourism operators in the area to discuss, share and learn. Taihlaura delivered an insightful workshop at this year’s Tourism Conference, titled ‘Designing effectively on Canva’ and in today’s episode, she sits down with Tom Wootton to chat all about it. For those who are not aware of Canva, it is a simple to use, cloud-based design platform which can assist you to design anything you can possibly think of – social media tiles, letters, invites, logos, business cards, email signatures etc. Instead of using an app such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva is an online tool which you can access via the internet. There is a free version or a pro version for the cheap price of $164.99 per year (which is cheaper than Netflix!). Taihlaura explains some simple yet important design techniques and things to avoid doing, such as ‘font frenzy’, the use of negative space in your design, not over-crowding content and keeping the use of colour to a minimum. We’ve all heard, ‘less is more’ but Taihlaura explains how important this truly is when designing effective marketing material. Tourism products and experiences are often communicated visually, which means investing time and energy into a platform like Canva can go a long way to creating high-quality material that makes you stand out from the crowd. Digital marketing doesn’t have to be daunting – just jump onto Canva and give it a go! Today’s episode is brought to you by our partner, the Department of State Growth .

He has extensive experience spanning destination marketing, product development, and customer engagement with a particular passion and expertise for sustainable and regenerative tourism. Visit Northern Tasmania CEO, Tracey Mallet, sits down with Nic at the 2023 Tasmanian Tourism Conference where he delivered a Day 1 workshop about regenerative tourism. For those not aware of regenerative tourism, Nic says it can mean different things to different people, however he essentially boils it down to ‘doing tourism for good’. It’s all about going beyond sustainability and instead having a long-term positive impact on the community and environment. The benefits of regenerative tourism are all-encompassing, but for tourism businesses particularly, it can help attract more customers as well as making you more marketable. This is especially important for Tasmania as it manages the balance between protecting the things that make it different and growing the visitor economy. Tracey and Nic delve into the tips and tricks on how tourism businesses can enter the regenerative tourism space, and the key piece of advice is to simply make a start. Nic says it’s about progress, not perfection. It’s not a tick-box exercise, but continuous work. Ask yourself the question, ‘what are the negative impacts of our business and how can we change them into a positive?’ Start with the short-term, immediate changes you can make and then map out the middle to long-term goals.

1 Talking Tourism Episode 140 - A story of Tassie entrepreneurialism with Tim Polmear 23:18
23:18 Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like Curtido23:18
Mais Tarde Mais Tarde Listas Like CurtidoTim Polmear is Co-Founder of Waubs Harbour Distillery on the beautiful east coast of Tasmania. Before venturing into the world of whisky, Tim and his wife Bec founded Flat Tummy Tea Co – a herbal tea remedy to help ease indigestion. After falling into the world of influencer marketing, the brand quickly gained momentum and turned into a flourishing e-commerce business. Then, in 2016, Tim and Bec sold the business and moved back to Tassie to start a family, and in 2018, the dream location in Bicheno was purchased and the Waubs Harbour Distillery journey begun. Tim was one of the Day 2 speakers at the Tourism Conference, and he truly captured the crowd with his raw, open personality and inspiring story, and in today’s episode, Tim sat down with Destination Southern Tasmania’s Damian Mather to chat all about it. They unpack the reasoning behind starting a new business or developing a new product, and how it’s of course important to have some experience and capital behind you, but more importantly to have courage and determination. At the core of any business is storytelling, and Tim suggests authenticity is the key ingredient to any business’s marketing process. A key takeaway from Tim’s presentation at the Conference was the question he asked his brother and co-founder of Waubs Harbour, and that was, “If you could create whisky your way, with your dream equipment in the ideal location, how would you do it?” This question was what set the business up and ultimately on its path to greatness. Substitute the word whisky for whatever is relevant to you and your tourism business, and it’s a great question to ask yourself. The answer may very well be the reason behind what makes you or your business stand out from the crowd. Today’s episode is brought to you by our partner, McDermott’s Coaches.

In today’s episode, Luke and Fanus compare the similarities between the fitness and tourism industries in terms of staffing and social media marketing. Fanus explains the ‘community feel’ and ‘energy’ of F45 is what makes it stand out from any other offering and is therefore its unique selling point. F45 showcases these values throughout its entire business but especially through its staff. However, they encounter similar workforce challenges to what many of our tourism operators are currently experiencing, including high staff turnover. A major reason contributing to the mass success of F45 is its social media marketing. Tasmanian tourism operators have a great social media presence, however Fanus explains the importance of staying relevant and on-trend to allow your business, product, or service to cut-through the social media clutter. Something which F45 have excelled at is training up its staff to take a lead in this space. Fanus sees this as an opportunity for tourism operators as well.

Finally, the time has come for the interviewer to become the interviewee! Hosted by Tom Wootton, today's episode is longer than usual - so grab a drink and settle in, because it's a good one! Tom and Luke travel down memory lane and reflect on what the tourism landscape was like in 2011, before something called MONA came into the picture. They then talk about how this became a real turning point in putting Tasmania on the map and tourism spend becoming more of a government priority. But, it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine - as with every industry, there were challenges - and the most obvious one being COVID. Tourism was hit especially hard, but as Tom and Luke recognise, the resilience and hard-working attitude of our state's tourism operators is second-to-none and the bounce back has been remarkable. It wouldn't be an episode of Talking Tourism without the famous 7 Questions - and it's safe to say, Luke has had plenty of time to think of his answers (having asked dozens of people them over the years). His answers certainly don't disappoint! Tom even managed to surprise Luke with a special thank you from some very special people from his personal and professional life. We hope you enjoy the episode!…

Peter first talks about the infamous PumpHouse Point project and the excitement that came with honouring such a beautiful piece of historic architecture which sits in a world heritage environment area. For Peter, the opportunity the site presented was so unique and it was this uniqueness that has made PumpHouse Point one of the most luxurious, sought-after tourism experiences in Tasmania. Similarly, the Dove Lake Viewing Shelter presented an opportunity to respect the environment of which surrounds the Lake and to leave a lasting legacy to make it better than they found it.

Prior to fulfilling this position, Lindene spent the last five years as Head of Brand Marketing overseeing the delivery of the agency’s ‘Come Down for Air’ brand platform and ‘Off Season’ campaign. In this episode, Luke Martin spoke with Lindene about her career in marketing, firstly with Coca-Cola and then with Tourism Tasmania, and specifically about the 2023 ‘Off Season’ campaign where she provides some interesting insights into the creation of the campaign, and how tourism operators can get involved. The ‘Off Season’ campaign was born out of wanting to galvanise industry – to excite everyone to get involved in a shared vision for the winter season. Consumer insights and research proved people simply paused over the winter months waiting for it to be over. Tourism Tasmania saw this is an opportunity to create a change in how Australia sees winter – to see it is a season worth embracing rather than escaping. While the ‘Off Season’ has technically started, Lindene explains it is never too late for tourism operators to get involved and to submit an ‘offer’. This is something any business – small or large – can offer visitors that is a bit different than what they already do. All a business has to do is upload their ‘offer’ to ATDW and Tourism Tasmania will do the rest – it’s that simple. Lindene also spoke about Tourism Tasmania’s new Discover Tasmania app – something which has only just recently been launched. Phones are often glued to everyone’s hands, but especially travellers who plan their holidays around information they can get at their fingertips. Hence why the Discover Tasmania app was created. Lindene explains how the app delivers tailored information relevant to the end-user, demonstrates the breadth of Tasmanian tourism offerings and influences on-ground behaviour.

We know that many tourism operators want to grow or move forward with their business, but are reluctant to take that first step, and Rachael suggests that there are many common factors that hold people back from jumping in. No surprises here - they relate back to mindset, too. The vast majority of Tasmanian tourism businesses are small- to medium-sized enterprises with owner-operators who are often caught up in working "in" the business, often at the detriment of their capacity to work "on" the business (or themselves). Rachael suggests ways in which operators can increase the productivity and efficiency of their business, without sacrificing their very necessary role within it.

As part of the global team that pioneered Kantar’s global sustainability practice, Dan brings the advisory and consulting experience of helping numerous global brands and businesses turn aspirations in sustainability into clear strategy, practical action and commercial impact. Off the back of last week’s episode with Ethical Republic ’s Emma Pethybridge, today’s episode sees Visit Northern Tasmania ’s Chris Griffin unpack with Dan the global sustainability practice that Kantar pioneered, to understand how markets are changing. Their research has proven up the acceleration of different values, attitudes and behaviours around how people want to live post-Covid, and Dan is well-placed to explain how sustainability plays (big time) into these changes. Dan also worked with Tourism Tasmania to understand how Tassie can find new relevance within these changing market aspirations, and to start a different conversation from travel and tourism being a passive pursuit to one that actually gets more out of life and leaves a positive impact. Tasmania has long thought of itself as the birthplace of the sustainability movement, and Dan agrees wholeheartedly that it's a world leader. However, the challenge now is how we move our thinking from minimising our impact to maintain the way we live, to a mindset of reimagining how we live and leaning into change to create a better future.

Emma unpacks regenerative tourism, and how it takes the sustainable buzzword (at least) one positive step further. It’s about intent and a set of actions that aim to leave things better than we found them, including respecting ecological boundaries, uplifting host communities, and using business as a force for good by incorporating purpose into its DNA. Emma also introduces her six dimensions of regenerative travel and tourism, and provides examples of how you can apply these principles to your business, no matter its size. While these shifts undoubtedly carry with them some investment of time, energy and finance, Emma explains how you can extract commercial value from your purpose by how - and to whom - you talk about what you’re doing. Alex and Emma discuss the unique positive impact advantages available to Tasmanian tourism businesses through the state's existing wilderness values and cultural landscapes, as well as the opportunities to do better through promoting and partnering with the Aboriginal Tasmanian community to provide indigenous tourism experiences.

In today's episode, Destination Southern Tasmania's Alex Heroys racks Rob's data- and trends-centric mind for his take on the recovery of inbound international tourism to Australia and, specifically, Tasmania. While lingering resistance to long-haul flights and economic factors continue to impact how many international tourists we're seeing arrive into Tassie, there's plenty of good news for our state in terms of its competitiveness with other destinations. In Rob's words, we're perfectly poised with a suite of high-quality products that appeal to a high-yielding market that's willing to travel and - perhaps more importantly - willing to spend good money on great experiences that celebrate people, product and place. Rob also unpacks our closest competitors and the key advantages we must flex in order to increase our share, new and emerging inbound markets, and the post-Covid recovery of the all-important China market.

Stacey has supported multiple businesses to become Employers of Choice as well as to implement practices that create a workplace culture that contributes to attracting and retaining a skilled and capable workforce. In today's episode, TICT's Luke Martin gets Stacey's thoughts on the current Tasmanian employment market. While it might bring momentary consolation to note that the workforce challenges faced by the tourism industry are shared by most other sectors, this brings with it an even greater challenge in competing for employees. In what's been touted as the Great Jobs Boom, it's never been more important for tourism businesses to sell themselves not just to their customers, but also to potential employees. Stacey unpacks the unique advantages of the tourism industry that we should be marketing to jobseekers, and brings insight to what the next generation of young leaders is looking for in a prospective employer - spoiler alert: it's not all about the money Stacey also explains the Employer of Choice program which recognises businesses that demonstrate contemporary workforce practices, excellent support for employees and opportunities for work-life balance.

And, more recently, Sam became the Managing Director of Du Cane Brewing Co., an up and coming Launceston-based craft beer brand. In today's episode, TICT's Emma Azon-Jacometti chats with Sam about his trajectory from corporate marketing guy to beverage boffin in Tasmania, and what drew him to craft cider in the first place (spoiler alert: the market research had nothing to do with asking people what they wanted, and everything to do with a very good gut feeling). While Willie Smith's began as a local name with a local following, the Willie Smith's product and destination have become tourism icons in their own right, and Sam shares his insights into what he reckons the keys to the brand's success have been along the way. In what will come as no surprise to regular Talking Tourism listeners, telling the stories of product, place and people are at the centre of Willie Smith's birth and growth over the past ten years.

He specialises in greenhouse gas measurement, management, reporting and auditing, and was recently engaged by TICT to undertake a report that would provide insights into what it would look like for the Tasmanian tourism industry to be carbon-neutral. In this episode, TICT's Emma Azon-Jacometti chats with Charlie about the findings of that report, beginning by exploring what it actually means to be carbon-neutral. Charlie then explains how he went about determining the size of Tasmanian tourism's carbon footprint, and how it compares to other Australian states' tourism industries, as well as other industries within Tasmania. Charlie suggests that we need to look at achieving carbon neutrality from a top-down approach as well as a bottom-up approach, and talks through the differences between both approaches and how you might apply these considerations in your own business. Ultimately, the big question is whether the Tasmanian tourism industry can achieve its bold ambition to be carbon-neutral by 2025. And, if it can, what measures does it need to take to get there?

Stay ChatTY, a mental health awareness organisation inspired by the loss of his younger brother Ty to suicide in 2013. Since then, the organisation has delivered programs into workplaces, community groups, schools and sporting clubs to encourage people to speak up about mental health and create a kinder and more accepting world. In today’s conversation, TICT’s Luke Martin asks Mitch to share his advice with the Tasmanian tourism and hospitality industry, which has arguably been one of the hardest hit by the last two years’ Covid-related challenges. While we’re encouraged by the most recent Tourism Industry Business Sentiment Survey, which showed that 95% of respondents had a positive outlook for the future of the industry, it’s undeniable that the last two years have had real impact on the industry’s collective mental health. Mitch talks through practical self-care strategies to build resilience and avoid negative cycles, as well as the importance of looking out for others around us who might be doing it tough. For leaders and managers, Mitch offers his tips on building workplace cultures that are engaged with and proactive around mental health strategies. He believes that these cultures need to be set from the top, and can have real impact on individuals and teams. And with June 21 – the shortest day of the year – coming up, Mitch gets chatty about Shorts Day. It’s a new awareness initiative that encourages us to wear shorts to work on what might be one of the chilliest days to brave the cold and brave the conversation around mental health.

In today’s episode, TICT’s Luke Martin plays right into Alli’s wheelhouse, by asking her to use all of the research at her disposal to extrapolate a forecast for Tasmania’s tourism industry in the current context and moving forward. Alli gives her insights into growing intrastate markets for Tassie, including Western Australian and Queensland, and the (positive!) impacts that these newer markets have had on average length of stay and average spend per visitor. But, with international borders opening up and overseas destinations beckoning, it’s important that we remain competitive in attracting these markets to Tasmania. Alli unpacks the idea of offering a counter-experience to the grind through our unique wide open spaces, regional experiences, and regenerative tourism offerings. Alli and Luke also chat about changes to our inbound international markets over the past few years, and consider the visitors that might be best placed to replace a dwindling Chinese market. While the US and UK represent high-yielding and engaged markets to continue to tap into, could Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia be the next frontiers for Tasmanian tourism?

First up, Luke and Tom discuss the findings of the recent Tourism Industry Business Sentiment Survey, which – while realistic about the ongoing challenges faced by many operators – tell an optimistic story about the future of our industry in Tasmania. Unsurprisingly, one of the biggest issues falling out of the survey feedback was staffing and workforce skills, and Luke and Tom share their insights on how we might better attract great people into the industry by improving the employee value proposition. They also take a deep-dive into what they see as the next frontier in the Tasmanian tourism industry’s growth: agritourism. As CEO of the north-west’s regional tourism organisation, Tom has seen first-hand how farm-based experiences create genuine connections between visitors and the Tasmanian story, and Luke believes this sector generates products that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world. Finally, Luke and Tom chat all things Federal Election, and its implications for tourism. Tom has his hopes pinned on funding for the Reimagining the Far North West project and the Don River Railway, while Luke’s wish list also includes the Hobart Airport international runway, Launceston business events infrastructure, and the Spirit of Tasmania equalisation scheme.
