Australian state to build the world's biggest chocolate fountain if the ... trends now
Tasmania will become home to the world's largest chocolate fountain, if the Liberals are returned to government in the upcoming state election.
The island state will head to the polls on March 23 after the Liberal minority government failed to resolve a stand-off with two crossbench independents.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff says if re-elected, his government will work with local tourism industry leader Simon Currant to deliver the 'world's ultimate chocolate experience'.
The chocolate fountain will sit alongside the Cadbury factory, just north of Hobart overlooking the River Derwent, offering chocoholics a sweet taste of the Apple Isle.
There will also be a premium chocolate studio, a chocolate lab with a make-your-own chocolate bar, a chocolate emporium, cafe and playground.
Touted by the Liberals as the 'greatest thing to happen to tourism since MONA', Mr Rockliff said tourism had been one of the state's most transformative sectors in the past decade.
'This will re-write the 'must-see' list for every visitor that comes to Tasmania; hug a Tassie devil, sip wine on Wineglass, stroll Salamanca, climb Cradle, and cap that all off with the sweetest experience of them all at the Chocolate Experience at Cadbury,' he said on Sunday.

Mr Rockliff previously claimed the new attraction will be a chance for the state to grow its dairy industry
