Such a move has the potential to give our tourism businesses the boost they have been longing for over many months.

Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania chairman Daniel Leesong told the group's annual conference on Thursday the 23 member board had unanimously agreed the best way for the industry to have a resurgence was if all travellers into the state had received their jabs.

We all know that Aussies love to travel.

And giving the 25 million or so people across Bass Strait a chance to head south for a holiday may be a gold mine for tourism at all levels.

They certainly need it after a pretty grim last 18 months. Even with the state government's tourism voucher schemes, a lot in the tourism and hospitality space have done it tough.

With the ongoing challenge from the Delta strain of COVID-19, it is likely it will be a long while before the borders are open freely and people don't need to worry about the threat of being locked out just before they travel due to another outbreak.

But if the state adopts an approach where we welcome people who are fully vaccinated, then it will take away the risk for many.

Given that someone vaccinated can still potentially spread the disease, it would mean that the tourism sector would need to prioritise vaccination to protect its people.

And there would need to be an awareness from the general public around the state, as many are likely to have some interaction with visitors.

Mr Leesong said that people who weren't vaccinated would need to follow the current quarantine arrangements, to help protect people in Tasmania.

But the benefits from bringing the travel hungry people from interstate down would be worth it. It would give so many who have said they want to come to Tasmania more incentive.

It would be a bold move, but if Tasmania is the first to go with a more open border it could mean a lot for many around the state.
