Happiness at Hollybank Treetop Adventures

Innkeepers Tasmania's Karen Rees experienced the exhilaration in the treetops at Hollybank Treetop Adventures.

If you are a middle aged mum or a 12 year old boy, the experience is equally suited. We arrived to a warm welcome with the highly professional staff at Hollybank in the days before Christmas. In the subsequent 3 hours we had more fun than we could have imagined.

In a group of 10 people we soon learned how to professional 'flyers' tucked into the safety harnesses clicked onto wires along which you zoom through the treetops.

Our flight was in several stages of varying distances with the longest flight around 400 metres and a maximum of 50 metres above ground. Smaller children fly in tandem with parents.

Guides are enthusiastic, professional and knowledgeable. We learnt about various tree species before launching ourselves into space. All in all a thoroughly wonderful day!

While in the area we recommend staying at Rosevears Vineyard Retreats, in their beautiful eco-cabins overlooking the vineyard and the Tamar River.

Innkeepers at Australian Tourism Export Council

Innkeepers Tasmania attended ATEC Meeting Place in Sydney yesterday and today. Marketing & Business Development Manager Karen Rees is presenting Innkeepers 43 accommodation member properties to Inbound Tour Operators today. This is a critical step in marketing to overseas wholesalers. Our motels, hotels, apartments and intimate retreats around Tasmania are receiving significant attention during one-on-one appointments with leading ITOs.

During the event a motivational speaker, Chris Helder, told the audience of several hundered delegates to 'Chunk up' to creat a mindset for growth. Here are some notes on his presentation.

Mindset For Change

In this time of seemingly constant change, this has become one of Chris' most popular seminars. This presentation helps participants find clarity on what is truly important in moving forward, the bigger picture. Chris walks audiences through simple timeline techniques, described in his sessions as the "Chunk Up" philosophy. This powerful tool helps participants to mentally move forward in time in order to find clarity on the "big picture", instead of becoming bogged down in "Chunk Down" attitudes and behaviours. Participants received:* Tools for creating a vision in moving forward* How to keep your sights on the "big picture" - personally and professionally* An understanding of the powerful "Chunk Up" concept* Tools to smash the "glass ceilings" that people create for themselves .

This talk was well received and got delegates thinking about new strategies for their business.
