"We also have endearing Australian Christmas decorations."
Ms Pryer said she hoped Tasmanians would want to support local for their Christmas decorations and gifts this year, and encouraged locals and visitors to stop by.
"By choosing to purchase a unique gift, eat out or buy a coffee we can all help the local economy recover," Ms Pryer said.
The visitor centre, located at 98-100 Emu Bay Road, is offering free gift wrapping.
"It's just our way of helping to lift Christmas spirits after what has been a very challenging year," Ms Pryer said.
