Larni Davies from Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania (TICT) visited students in the Cert II in Tourism. TICT is the peak body for Tasmania’s tourism industry.  

Larni started her career as a Travel consultant for Tourism Tasmania, became a tour guide in Canada, worked as a bushwalking guide with Tasmanian Expeditions/Cradle Mountain Huts/the Bay of Fires Walk, then teaching Adventure Tour Guiding at TasTAFE. Her days now are filled with video shoots for Tassie Ambassador Program (a free online course to expand knowledge of Tasmanian towns and experiences) and coordinating the annual Tasmanian Tourism Awards and Top Tourism Town Awards. 

Her key message to students was to step outside your comfort zone, as that’s where magic happens! 

Earier this term, students from this class did just that, visiting Quercus Park during Agfest, and seeing what the agricultural community of Tasmania had to offer.
