Live blog with Deputy Lord Mayor Ron Christie
HOBART Deputy Lord Mayor Ron Christie says the city has a big year ahead of it, with a bumper crop of festivals and visitors to the city.
"In 2013, we will have 2.4 million visitors arrive in Hobart by plane -- 4400 extra seats on planes coming in, that's a lot of people," he said.
"And next year will be the biggest year of festivals we have ever had.
" There's going to be something happening virtually every month, starting with the Taste Festival, then MONA FOMA, the Wooden Boat Festival, Festival of Voices, Dark MOFO and so on."
Ald Christie said Hobart's top ten placement in destination lists by Lonely Planet and Trip Advisor would also help place it on the map for international visitors.
He described Hobart as "recession-proof".
"There's a lot of building going on. It's nice to see cranes everywhere."
If you have any questions you would like to ask Ald Christie, join our live blog from 11am tomorrow.
He will field questions about a range of municipal issues -- the city's festivals, economy, tourism, even those contentious red awnings.
"Might I suggest, in the spirit of Christmas, that CBD traders deck their premises with 'Santa' red awnings and we promote it as 'Hobart an awnsome city to visit'?"
