Below is a copy of a letter from the office of the Premier of Tasmania in relation to the free travel for bikes on the Spirit of Tasmania which is now in place!

Dear Mr Eacott

Thank you for your email in relation to the Australian Government’s injection of $6 million into Tasmanian tourism by making it free for Spirit of Tasmania passengers to take their cars and motorbikes to our State.

This will be a great boost to passenger vehicle bookings on the TTLine, providing much-needed relief to our tourism industry.

The free travel applies to all new bookings between 1 March 2021 and 30 June 2021, unless sold out prior, and Australians can take their car - or motorbike - to Tasmania at zero cost. Bookings will open on/after 14 January 2021, and when travellers book their ticket, the rebate will automatically apply to the purchase price of the ticket.

This is a win-win for both Tasmanians and visitors looking to discover more of what our State has to offer. It also represents an average saving of around $240 return for travellers. For more information, see www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/sailing-fares/specials/bring-your-carfor-free

Thank you for writing to me.

Yours sincerely

Hon Peter Gutwein MP
