Visitorship to pubs, clubs and bars is expected to increase in mid-December once borders between Tasmanian and the mainland reopen.

However, some hospitality businesses fear they will alienate patrons and staff who chose not to be vaccinated.

Eski Group chief executive Karen Burbury said she was concerned that handing the decision of who could enter a venue based on their vaccination status would be difficult for businesses to regulate.

"It is going to be a tricky one and there's not going to be any correct answer, I guess each business is going to have to do what they feel is in their best interest, '' she said.

"It's a real throw up in the air because we're going to offend someone either way."

Ms Burbury said there was a genuine concern in the industry that turning away patrons would breed resentment in the community and cause irreparable brand damage to businesses.

Tasmanian Hospitality Association chief executive Steve Old said concerns had been raised within the hospitality industry concerning the decision on whether to allow unvaccinated patrons into venues in the hands of individual operators.

"This is going to put a lot of pressure on venues and staff as the onus will be on employers, adding further stress to what has been a difficult 18 months," he said.

"Feedback we are receiving is they are worried about legal issues becoming a responsibility of the venues."

He said the THA also held concerns around measures regarding the vaccination status of staff.

"We will be writing to the [state] government seeking clarification on several issues, we believe there needs to be a clear ruling so it takes the legal presence off the venues," he said.

A government spokesperson said it would be up to individual businesses to determine if they wish to restrict entry based on vaccination status.

Launceston Harvest Market chief operating officer Amanda Woollams said the market would struggle to implement restrictions.

"We aren't actually in a position to prevent people from walking through the market."
