Devonport has been named Tourism Industry Council Tasmania (TICT)'s Tasmania's TOP Tourist Town for 2023!

Tasmania’s towns and villages are where our visitors find the real Tasmania – the characters, the quirky personalities, the history and stories, that make exploring our state so rewarding. Our towns are also where our tourism dollars are best spent – supporting local businesses and local jobs, and keeping our regional communities vibrant for everyone.

The 2023 Tassie's Top Tourism Town Awards competition is an opportunity for Tasmanian towns of all sizes to showcase what makes their special part of Tassie such an amazing visitor destination in its own right. It is also about having your town recognised as a place where tourism operators, businesses, and the local community band together to make your town the very best destination it can be.

The 2023 categories and criteria remain unchanged from last year, with three categories available:
* The Top Tourism Town Award for populations over 5,000
* The Small Tourism Town Award for populations under 5,000, but greater than 1,500
* The Tiny Tourism Town Award for populations under 1,500

This year, there were eight wonderful finalists from all regions of the state:
- Coles Bay on the East Coast;
- Richmond and Glenorchy in the South;
- Strahan and Queenstown out West;
- Devonport and Stanley in the North-West;
- and Low Head in the North.

The entries have been judged by an expert panel, who have determined Tasmania’s three Top Tourism Towns - based on population.

The Tasmanian public have also had their say, with more than 3000 people taking part in the consumer voting period.

The winning towns will become finalists and be judged alongside towns in all other Australian States and Territories to determine Australia’s Top Tourism Towns for 2023.

Now, the time has come to announce the three winning towns.
TICT would also like to acknowledge and thank the sponsors of this Awards program - Spirit of Tasmania and TasVacations.

: Devonport has been named Tasmania's TOP Tourist Town for 2023!

Eight towns from Richmond to Glenorchy went head-to-head for the top spot, which was judged by tourism experts and over 3,000 public votes.

Stanley was Tasmania's tiny town winner, while Queenstown is the top small tourist town!
