Tasmanian hospitality shines globally, with The Tasman named world’s best

The Tasman has been named among the top 50 hotels in the world, voted for by international experts from the hotel and travel industry. 

The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024 list was unveiled during a ceremony in London today.

Premier and Minister for Tourism and Hospitality, Jeremy Rockliff said this international recognition of a Tasmanian hospitality offering was a huge win for the State. 

“To be named in the World’s Best 50 list continues to spread the word that Tasmania offers world-class experiences and stunning regions like nowhere else.” 

“I extend my congratulations to the management team and all the staff at The Tasman who have contributed to this significant global recognition.” 

Tasmania’s tourism and hospitality industry has enjoyed a string of prestigious awards both nationally and internally in 2024. This is a reflection of the tourism operators’ dedication to delivering top tier product and experiences.

“With an award-winning food, wine, and spirits scene, as well as Agrarian Kitchen being Australia’s Best Restaurant, Devonport named Australia’s Top Tourism Town, wukalina Walk listed in the TIME’s World’s Greatest Places and Tasmania making New York Times Best Places to Visit list, our island is quickly becoming the nation’s standout state,” Premier Rockliff said.

“While Tasmania’s visitors benefit from our breathtaking landscape and world-class produce, it’s the warmth of our people, the passion of our operators and the support of local communities that truly set our experiences apart.”

The Tasman is one in a growing portfolio of high-end and luxury accommodation businesses investing in Tasmania, creating jobs, boosting the economy, and adding confidence to Tasmania’s tourism and hospitality sector. 

Developments from international brands, including Novotel, DoubleTree by Hilton and Crowne Plaza, are a testament to the strength of the Tasmanian brand, tourism industry, and unique tourism offering. 

The Tasman is owned by Marriott International and is the only Marriott Hotel in the Asia Pacific region.
