Aria's Matt Moran

Famed Sydney chef Matt Moran has launched the T-Qual Tick Tour, which will see him travel around Australia to visit some of the country’s leading tourism experiences that are endorsed by the Australian Government’s new national symbol of tourism quality, the T-Qual Tick.

Tourism Australia is responsible for promoting the T-Qual Tick on behalf of the Tourism Quality Council of Australia, and has designed the T-Qual Tick Tour to showcase some of the quality tourism businesses that have met the criteria to display the T-Qual Tick. 

A seasoned domestic traveller for business and pleasure, Moran said he is looking forward to experiencing more of Australia’s quality offerings.

“I’m so excited to get started on the T-Qual Tick Tour. As co-owner of Aria, I understand the importance of promoting quality in the industry. I can’t wait to discover the best that Australia has to offer and to experience the high-quality products that are available right on our doorstep,” he said.

Moran will kick off his T-Qual Tick Tour tonight with an overnight adventure to Taronga Zoo’s Roar and Snore, where he will experience rare insights into the zoo’s nocturnal inhabitants and spend a night sleeping in an architecturally designed tent overlooking Sydney’s iconic harbour. He will then embark upon his journey around the country, visiting some quality tourism experiences in destinations such as Hobart, Darwin, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Broome.

“The T-Qual Tick is working to promote quality tourism in Australia and raising industry standards and is backed by the Australian Government,” said Tourism Australia Managing Director, Andrew McEvoy.

“Matt’s tour will give people all over the country an insight into exactly why they can trust the T-Qual Tick when booking their next holiday, allowing them to relax safe in the knowledge that they will enjoy value for money and a quality experience,” he said.
