TASMANIAN Treasurer Peter Gutwein has confirmed Thomas Cook Money is establishing its Australian headquarters in Hobart (TD 16 May), having been offered up to $300,000 in payroll tax assistance from the state’s govt.
The UK-based group will offer products including travel insurance, foreign exchange and pre-paid travel cards, marking the brand’s return to Australia after an 18-year absence.
“This is expected to inject approximately $2 million each year into the local economy and create 40-full time equivalent jobs,” Gutwein said.
