A decision is expected in September and if the nomination is accepted, Clint will become the first person from the North West to serve in the role. “I am absolutely thrilled with the nomination, which I see as a massive compliment from the TICT directors who
see fit to nominate me to represent the TICT and in turn Tasmania’s tourism industry to that position on the board. It is something I have aspired to for many years,” Clint says. The Circular Head native has been an owner and operator within the tourism industry for 23 years and on the board of the TICT for 11 years.
