Australia Post's decision to end a "crucial" delivery service could undermine agritourism operators and online entrepreneurs, industry players warn.
Key points:
Some Tasmanian businesses are concerned about the lack of alternative options
Tasmanian tourism association West by North West's Tom Wotton says the online sales convert tourists into 'lifetime customers and ambassadors'
