The University of Tasmania has formalised partnerships with the Department of State Growth, the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery and Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service.
UTAS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Brigid Heywood said: “The University helps shape the economic and cultural future of our state and there can be no doubt that the role of tourism in that future is growing fast.”
Director of the Tourism Research and Education Network (TRENd) Dr Anne Hardy said the agreements marked a new era for tourism research.
“Researchers will now come up with ideas in particular field areas including the environment, visitor engagement and culture,” Dr Hardy said.
