Each year, as a part of the Tasmanian Tourism Awards, TICT invites Tasmania's Minister for Tourism to recognise an outstanding young achiever in our industry.

Announced at the Tasmanian Tourism Awards Gala, the Tourism Minister’s Young Achiever is awarded to an exceptional emerging business leader, entrepreneur, or tourism professional, aged 35-years or under, from across the Tasmanian tourism industry.

Many past recipients of this award have gone on to shape the Tasmanian tourism industry in very significant ways. You can view the Honor Roll of past Tourism Minister's Young Achievers here.
