Allison Clark is a leading figure in Tasmania’s agritourism sector, known for her collaborative, future-focused approach to integrating agriculture with tourism. As the founder of Agritourism Tasmania, she has led initiatives—such as the Agritourism Accelerator—that have supported over 200 farm businesses since 2020, helping visitors connect with Tasmania’s agricultural heritage in immersive and meaningful ways.  In 2023, Allison led a pilot project exploring the possibility of agritourism and aboriginal cultural tourism, which is where she first met Luke Mabb.

Allison is Co-Chair of the GAN Australia/New Zealand Regional Committee and was a keynote speaker at the 2024 Global Agritourism Network Conference in Bolzano, Italy, where she shared insights on Tasmania’s agritourism evolution and enabling government policy.

In addition to her agritourism leadership, Allison supports farmers through business resilience planning through the Resilient Farming Tas Program.

She currently serves on several key boards, including the Waste and Resource Recovery Board, and Jane Franklin Hall —extending her influence on regional development.  Her impact was recognised in 2024 with the Regional Development Australia (Tasmania) Excellence in Collaboration and Partnerships Award.
