Touring Grants Funding Criteria

The aim of the Touring Grant is to provide targeted funding for organisers of touring activities that travel throughout Tasmania, contributing to the state’s broader visitor economy. These touring activities support the regional dispersal of visitors, encourage the exploration of Tasmania’s diverse landscapes and communities, and create unique travel experiences that inspire word-of-mouth promotion. The grant aligns with the Tasmanian Government Events Strategy 2023-2027, contributing to the sustainable growth of the tourism and hospitality sectors by fostering events that provide economic, social, and brand benefits for Tasmania.

Notes

Motorhome, caravan, camping and walking touring activities may also be eligible, but only for the days that participants spend in paid accommodation, and with the same ratio of 40 per cent in paid accommodation in regional areas (outside of Greater Hobart).

Nights spent onboard the Spirit of Tasmania do not count towards your nights in Tasmania.

Before applying for this grant, applicants must read and understand the guidelines to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria.  

Applicants can be based anywhere in Australia, and must be able to enter into a funding agreement with the Tasmanian Government.

Applications for this grant will be assessed against the criteria and applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by email.

The Department of State Growth may contact you for additional information about your application and verify the information you’ve provided.

If you are unable to use the grant as expected, please contact Events Tasmania by email info@eventstasmania.com or phone 1300 880 634, as you may be expected to repay the funding.

Available grant amounts are calculated on a scale of attendance and duration (see link to table below) from a minimum of $2,500 up to a maximum of $20,000
