Why would I do this course?
This program will enable tourism operators and staff to learn the basics of the tourism industry and how to offer a great Tassie experience. The course can be used as an induction or to complement an existing staff training program.
The more people that complete the course and wear the badge, the more it will become a talking point and encourage visitors to gravitate towards those that wear the badge, knowing they'll have an amazing experience. We hope you’ll get on board with your staff when your destination comes online.
We know that when visitors are greeted at every touchpoint during their stay with a warm welcome and genuine interaction, they will have a positive experience. Positive experiences lead to loyal advocates and rave reviews which builds awareness of a destination and motivates consumers to travel, tell their friends, and come back again and again.
