Federal Group Offers a Range of Tourism and Hospitality Businesses to Allow Guests to Experience Tasmania's Treasures

CARLSBAD, CA, January 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) Federal Group is a privately owned family hospitality and tourism company in Australia that operates in Tasmania with five divisions, including its tourism brand, Pure Tasmania. This range of businesses fills a variety of entertainment venues like casinos, gaming, hotels, retail liquor, accommodation, restaurants, and tourism resorts and experiences. Federal Group is the largest private sector employer in Tasmania with 2,400 employees. Out of these employees, more than 400 have more than 10 years experience with the company and more than 150 have more than 20 years experience.

"One of our real key competitive advantages is the quality and the commitment of the people who work for the business," says managing director Greg Farrell. "It's both very high standards and very high level of commitment to the business and the values of the business."

Federal Group not only builds stable relationships with its employees, but also its customers, suppliers and communities that it operates within. Procurement teams within Federal Group focus heavily on Tasmanian goods and services. For example, about 70 per cent of wines available at any of Federal Group's tourism businesses are from local wineries.

"We support a number of smaller vineyards in promoting their range of products to perhaps an audience that would not otherwise have the opportunity to see what quality of wines they are," Farrell says."Hopefully, that creates a more genuine Tasmanian experience for visitors and helps to boost demand for Tasmanian wine."
