Hospitality NT recently joined forces with NT Farmers and Tourism NT on a local produce tour aiming to further develop connections between hospitality operators and our world-class food producers.

After missing out in 2020, it was amazing to see the Territory’s hospitality industry gathered together on the lawns of Mindil Beach Casino and Resort in May for the Hospitality NT Aristocrat Technologies Awards for Excellence.

Hospitality NT has launched an NT RSA Refresher course, which has been endorsed by the NT Government, through the Executive Director of Liquor Licensing, Racing and Gaming, Phillip Timney.

In February this year I took on the role of ‘Training Officer’ for Hospitality NT and hitting the ground running, have delivered Customer Service Training, Responsible Service of Gambling Refresher course and MVSE (Multi-Venue Self Exclusion) awareness courses to Members and the wider hospitality community.

Our peak 2021 tourism season is in full swing across the Territory. Domestic tourist numbers look positive. It’s clear their spending patterns are different to international travellers both in how they travel and what experiences they want and ultimately how much they are willing to spend getting out and about.
