• Huon Valley Accommodation Prospectus

The Huon Valley, as with the whole of Tasmania, a self drive destination being located geographically south of Hobart (only a forty minute drive from Tasmania’s capital city and major tourism gateway).  The region enjoys a relatively high number of day visitors.  Its array of products and services suggest that it is also multi-day destination and its appeal will certainly increase as new and revitalised visitor experiences are developed.  While market forces will inevitably determine investment choices, it is clear that if the region wishes to continually increase conversion of day visitors to overnight stays, the issue of accommodation capacity becomes paramount.
