Workshop Description: In this workshop delivered by the TICT and relevant stakeholders, operators will learn more about the value of the Caravan and Motorhome market, by delving into the recent market analysis produced by Tourism Tasmania.

You will then hear from a panel of tourism operators who are already well equipped to cater to this visitor market.
