Notice

The Board of Tasmania's South Regional Tourism Association (Totally South) advises that Totally South has ceased its existing operations.

The decision follows a recent review by an independent consultant, initiated by the Board of Totally South, which recommended the organisation cease existing operations due to a lack of sustainable funding and the little likelihood of achieving it in the foreseeable future.

The review was commissioned to examine the most appropriate funding model for a sustainable and strong regional tourism association following the withdrawal of local government funding at the end of June.

The Board will undertake the necessary governance requirements of the company leading to the next Annual General Meeting.

For Totally South corporate enquiries, please call 0418 145 859
For Holiday information, please call Tasmanian Travel and Information Centre (03) 6238 4222
