Fourteen Tasmanian tourism and hospitality operators are receiving funding to help reduce emissions produced by their business.
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is investing more than $620,000 in these businesses through its Tourism Emissions Reduction Grant Program.
Premier and Minister for Tourism, Jeremy Rockliff, said the grant was just one of the ways our Government was delivering its commitment to be a leading destination for climate-conscious travel.
"From a winery to accommodation businesses, the successful applicants are using this funding to purchase equipment such as electric vehicles, solar power systems and EV charging stations, to reduce emissions within their businesses," Premier Rockliff said.
"We know Tasmania offers the tourism experiences that the world wants and our Government is investing in these businesses to ensure they can continue to lead the way in the global sustainability agenda.
"The Tasmanian Liberal Government is supporting our world-class tourism and hospitality sector to play a role in our world-leading low-emissions economy, while also creating jobs for future generations.
"I congratulate the successful applicants, and all tourism and hospitality operators who are working to reduce their footprint and operate sustainably."
