Free Wi-Fi a hit in Tasmania

THE Hodgman Liberal Government's free Wi-Fi network TasGov_Free has proven a massive hit with tourists - with almost 150,000 users logging on for more than 300,000 sessions in the first year of operation.

This service supports our T21 visitor target of 1.5 million tourists by 2020 by providing access to reliable internet connectivity for our guests to make the most of their local experience.

Vitally, tourists can then share what #Tasmania has to offer with friends and family abroad so they too fall in love with our beautiful state.

This is a great start to the service and the work has continued with 153 access points now live at 60 locations, with four more set to proceed and eight shortly to be allocated at key usage and tourist points.

The 30 minutes free Wi-Fi per user, per device, per day is available at the identified tourism hotspots 24-7.

Free Wi-Fi in Norwich city centre; Mahler & Shakespeare in 2016

TOURISTS and shoppers in Norwich’s city centre can now access free Wi-Fi, after an £100,000 investment led by the local Business Improvement District (BID). Download speeds of up to 5MBs per second are available in some of the city’s key shopping areas, and the service will be expanded in the coming months.

Nick Bond, head of tourism at VisitNorwich, said: ‘Tourists increasingly expect to be able to access digital information on the go. Free Wi-Fi provided by the Norwich BID in the centre of the city helps visitors get the very best out of Norwich’s tremendous shopping, culture, heritage, and food and drink offer.’ 

Events in Norwich in 2016 include a Norwich Philharmonic performance of Mahler’s 8th symphony (May 21) at the Royal Norfolk Showground Arena, and the British Art Show (June 24-September 4) at Norwich University of the Arts and Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery. 

To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, Maddermarket Theatre will be performing ‘Shakespeare at 400 mini festival’ (March-April), and Norwich Cathedral will host Shakespeare in the Cloisters (July 15-16).
