We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of Lutruwita (Tasmania).  

We honour their uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, skies and waterways, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement.  

As part of a tourism industry that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully, and truthfully.  

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today.  

We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.  

We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands.
