Visiting Journalist Program

Tourism Tasmania’s Visiting Journalist Program (VJP) sponsors visits to Tasmania by print and electronic media journalists who work domestically and in our key international markets.

Before each visit, our media liaison experts consult closely with visiting journalists to tailor itineraries that will suit their interests, as well as the requirements of the publication.

The aim of each media visit is to produce a piece that, in print or broadcast media, positively profiles Tasmania to potential visitors. As such, the VJP only supports journalists proposing travel-related stories.

The level of Tourism Tasmania’s support for journalists depends on their professional profile and that of the publication they represent, but all journalists are encouraged to enquire about their eligibility.

In addition to running its own Visiting Journalist Program, Tourism Tasmania also works closely with Tourism Australia to host international journalists to Tasmania through that organisation’s own Visiting Journalist Program.
