Labor Leader Rebecca White has welcomed some good news for the tourism industry amid the coronavirus crisis, with the announcement of St Helens as the winner of Tassie’s Top Tourist Town.
“This is incredibly well deserved and I want to congratulate St Helens as well as the Break O’Day Council and the local Chamber of Commerce who collaborated on creating such a great entry.
“There’s no doubt about the impact COVID has had on the tourism industry which was one of the first and hardest hit sectors.
“The search for Tassie’s Top Tourist Town is a terrific initiative that’s brought people together to showcase all the things that are great about their local town and region.
“It’s been an uplifting and enthusiastic competition amongst some of Tasmania’s hottest destinations and I commend the Tourism Industry Council for helping to bring some cheer and positivity to what has otherwise been a very disrupted and in some cases, devastating year for operators in the tourism industry.”
