Mountain bike visitors account for 5% of interstate and international visitor nights and represent 3% of visitors to Tasmania. The total value of MTB tourism to Tasmania is unknown. Most MTB visitors to Tasmania are from interstate with fewer international visitors. Increasing interstate and international MTB visitor numbers is a significant opportunity for Tasmania with large populations of riders in the northern hemisphere and across Asia.
The MTB Action Plan has been developed to reflect the broader strategic context of Tasmania’s 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy. This Strategy forecasts future growth in visitation and commits to proactively managing this growth to protect and enhance Tasmania’s Brand, environment and community values.
The Tasmanian tourism industry acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita /Tasmania.
We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement.
As a tourism industry that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands.
We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
