Chamber president James Cameron said tourism in the area is looking up with a number of developments including the George Town Mountain Bike Trail.

"If you look at the history of George Town and if you look at the mountain bike trail happening behind it there is a significant amount of industry," Mr Cameron said.

"If you put it all together there is a really good reason to come and spend days down here wandering around the businesses and the wineries and the eateries."

On Tuesday April 16 the chamber along with a number of key operators and stakeholders in East Tamar industries formed the East Tamar Tourism Network.

The aim of the network is to work collectively to develop and maximise the benefits from tourism in the area.

Executive member at George Town Chamber of Commerce Maureen Lacey, who is coordinating the network, said with tourism in Tasmania growing it's important that East Tamar stakeholders work together.

"If we work together to make a network we can help businesses like us but also help tourism in the East Tamar in general," Ms Lacey said.

Mr Cameron said federal funding towards the project would be of great benefit to further the many tourism ventures in the region.

"I think there is an opportunity to put some money in to really develop that and give that a kick start going out from the other side of the election," Mr Cameron said.

"It would be lovely to get a commitment of funding to actually start to bring all loose ends together in the tourism space."

The Coalition Government has already committed funding prior to the election to a major George Town tourism project in the Mountain Bike Trail.

"There's so much capacity in George Town for tourists to come so it's about getting people out of the major cities and into the region where the money's needed," Ms Lacey said.

Another key issue Mr Cameron believed needed acknowledging is the development of a renewable energy policy.

He said that the current governments, both state and federal have not been sufficient in supporting renewable energy initiatives in the area such as the developing Low Head wind farm.

"There's a lot of really interesting stuff happening but particularly in a state space we're not being led, we're rudderless," Mr Cameron said.

"No matter where you are, climate change is a massive issue that is to a degree getting lip service from some and it deserves a lot more than that."
