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.
Businesses recognised as a commercial tour companies/operators whereby their business-as-usual practices are creating and either directly, or indirectly, selling tours or tour packages to individuals, businesses and groups are not eligible for this grant program.
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.
