The Tasmania Devil is now on show at the Night Safari Singapore, showcasing just some of the many wonders of Tasmania’s natural surroundings and wildlife that keeps drawing both overseas tourist and Australian locals alike. With many national parks and reserves, there is a significant increase in visitors in 2022 as compared to the years before.
A tasting of Tasmanian wines in a gorgeous set up was also experienced by the team at Savour BlackBookAsia Magazine during a sneak preview of the Tasmanian Devil. The Premier and Minister for Tourism, Jeremy Rockliff, said the figures came off the back of record spending by visitors to Tasmania of $3.49 billion in the 12 months to December 2022 and hotel occupancy data for January showing that 83.16 per cent of Tasmanian rooms were booked.
Walkers have returned to the world-class Three Capes (14,000) and Overland tracks (11,000) in numbers exceeding pre-COVID levels. “We know Tasmania has what the world wants, and this has again been confirmed with these fantastic results,” Minister Jaensch said.
“Our Government has and will continue to invest in our Parks and Wildlife Service to support sustainable and sensitive tourism in our National Parks and reserves, ensuring our natural and cultural values are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, while being conserved and protected for future generations,” Minister Jaensch.
“Recently completed works include the new Dove Lake viewing shelter as part of the Rockliff Liberal Government’s $26.8 million investment in the Cradle Mountain Master Plan, along with improved visitor facilities at Tasman Arch, new huts on the Overland Track and campsite improvements in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park. “Importantly, visitation data is used to plan, manage and support the visitor experience as Tasmania continues to be a highly sought-after destination for nature-based tourism.”
