Tourism Industry Council Tasmania (TICT) is the peak industry body for the Tasmanian tourism industry.

We are an independent and not-for-profit organisation bringing together a board of volunteer directors elected by our members as representatives of the Tasmanian tourism, hospitality, transport, and creative sectors.

We have a proud history as an organisation in leading our industry with purpose through periods of growth, disruption, challenge and opportunity.

Today, our industry is valued by the Tasmanian people for the opportunities it generates in communities across the State.

We know Tasmania is a destination truly unique in the world. Our brand of tourism will always reflect who we are as a people, and the values we place on these precious islands we call home.

TICTs Strategic Direction's 2022 - 24 establishes our organisation's strategic priorities over the next three years, as we aspire to lead our industry into a new era of opportunity as Tasmania continues its evolution as an extraordinary visitor destination.
