Mayors push for Hobart to be added to discount airfare scheme
As the Mayors of Greater Hobart, representing approximately 37 per cent of Tasmania’s population, we are deeply concerned that Hobart is not one of the targeted tourism locations as part of the Australian Government’s $1.2 billion Tourism Aviation Network Support (TANS) Program.
While we commend the Australian Government’s funding commitment, we have today written to the federal Tourism Minister asking that Hobart be added to the scheme. Hobart is Australia’s most tourism-dependent capital city, and deserves to be considered alongside Adelaide and Darwin for this scheme.
