Talking Tourism Episode 139 - Tassie Tourism Ambassador Program with Larni Davies

Today’s episode is with Larni Davies – TICT’s very own Tassie Tourism Ambassador Program Coordinator. A passionate Tasmanian, Larni Davies has 31 years of experience in the tourism industry.

After living interstate and even overseas for six years, Larni returned to Tasmania where she worked as a bushwalking guide with Tasmanian Expeditions; Cradle Mountain Huts; the Bay of Fires Walk and later progressed into management roles. Larni has previously coordinated the Adventure Tour Guiding program at TasTAFE Drysdale in Hobart for many years – equipping students with the knowledge and skills to become professional and competent bushwalking tour guides in Tasmania, and beyond.

TICT’s Kelly Luck sits down with Larni and chats all things Tassie Tourism Ambassador Program. They delve into how the program came about, who it is for, what the program entails, and what the future looks like. 

Anyone can become an Ambassador, but it’s specifically aimed at tourism and hospitality staff to teach them all about their industry in Tasmania, more about their regions and how to tell their stories in an engaging and captivating way to ultimately exceed our visitor’s expectations. Best of all – it’s 100% free! What are you waiting for? Become an Ambassador – www.tassietourismambassador.com.au/about/
