RACT has partnered with the Spirit of Tasmania to extend the benefits of RACT Member Rewards to Tasmanians and visitors alike while driving greater visitor spending across Tasmania and supporting local communities and businesses.
RACT already offers Tasmanians (over 16 years old) free access to its Lifestyle Membership, giving members savings on everyday costs including fuel, car servicing, groceries and school holiday activities.
That program has now been extended to include a five per cent discount on Spirit of Tasmania standard adult passenger fares. While visitors travelling to Tasmania on the Spirit will secure access to discounts on fuel, accommodation, attractions and experiences as part of a joint initiative to encourage visitors to travel further and support the economy during their stay in Tasmania.
RACT Group Chief Executive Officer Mark Mugnaioni said the partnership was designed to extend savings to Tasmanians and bring more visitors and more spending to the state to support local businesses.
“The partnership forms part of a broader initiative to give Tasmanians free access to its Lifestyle Membership program for 12 months, making it easier than ever to unlock savings and benefits," Mr Mugnaioni said.
“We are pleased to announce that now includes offering all RACT members a five per cent discount on standard adult passenger fares when booking through the dedicated RACT member offer page.
“In addition, Spirit of Tasmania passengers who are eligible, can access RACT’s Member Rewards program, unlocking the same discounts including savings on a range of Tasmanian tourism experiences, travel and accommodation offers.
"Every visitor who travels across Bass Strait contributes to the Tasmanian economy, spending at local service stations, accommodation providers and businesses in towns and communities around the state.
"As a member-owned organisation, supporting local businesses and strengthening Tasmania's economy has always been important to us, and this partnership is another practical way we can do that.”
Spirit of Tasmania Chief Executive Officer Chris Carbone said the initiative was developed following discussions between the two organisations about working together to support Tasmanians, while also encouraging visitors to travel further and spend more while they are in the state.
"We are really pleased to be partnering with the RACT, another iconic Tasmanian company, to encourage visitors to spread economic benefits to all corners of the state by extending their stay for as long as possible.
“RACT Lifestyle Membership will provide passengers with discounts on fuel, accommodation, attractions and experiences across the state. "
The Spirit of Tasmania discount is an addition to the already generous suite of benefits available through RACT's Lifestyle Membership for Tasmanians over 16. Members can already access savings on fuel, car servicing, groceries and everyday purchases, along with school holiday activities and entertainment.
“Families can also access savings on school holiday activities and entertainment such as cinemas and attractions including Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and other accommodation and travel partners,” Mr Mugnaioni said.
People can sign up online, in-store or over the phone, with membership sent to new members within two days of sign-up. Once processed, members can download their digital card and start saving.
