Tourism Tasmania uses digital marketing to promote Tasmania's tourism products and destinations.
Our Discover Tasmania website (www.discovertasmania.com.au) is our main travel website for visitors interested in finding out more about travel to Tasmania.
Tourism Tasmania also publish the Tasmanian Experiences website, where past and future travellers to Tasmania can share their experiences.
The products listed on the Discover Tasmania website are automatically drawn from Tourism Tasmania's TigerTOUR database.
The Discover Tasmania website is Tasmania's leading travel and tourism website. It offers consumers everything they need to plan their complete Tasmanian holiday experience. They can search across experiences and check the availability and price of Tasmanian accommodation, tours and activities online, and link through to an operator's website where in many cases they can book and pay online in real time with ease and confidence.
You can have your product listed for free on our Discover Tasmania website simply by registering your business details on the TigerTOUR database.
The TigerTOUR database feeds the search mechanism on the Discover Tasmania website so when you register on TigerTOUR your product is automatically included on www.discovertasmania.com.au
