Tasmania's tourism operators have taken massive financial hits with the state's tough new coronavirus infection control measures.

Tourism industry stalwart Rob Pennicott said he expected he may have to temporarily close his boat tour business.

"If [coronavirus cases do] increase by a few in a day for the next couple of days, we'll close the following day."At this stage there's a good chance that won't happen, but we do have to plan for what could be a worst case," he said.

He said businesses should be paid the equivalent of the Jobseeker payment to keep staff on, but warned that that would not be enough.
