Adventure Tourism Victoria (ATV welcomes the news that UK tourists on working holiday visas, up to 35 years old, will be able to live and work in Australia for up to three years.

ATV sees the emergence of a new market of 30 – 35 year olds as a huge opportunity for the tourism industry.

ATV President, Alex Hill says “Victoria is undoubtedly an incredible destination for international visitors to both visit and work in and ATV members will benefit from both the increased numbers in the workforce, as well as tourism visitor numbers. We invite industry consultation on the impact of removing farmwork as a condition of the extended visa and look forward to hearing more about the agricultural visa. International youth tourism is Australia’s largest international visitor economy and we support any action that makes working holiday visas to Australia as attractive as possible to international tourists.”

We again call on the Federal Government to put forward a roadmap of when border restrictions will be eased so that businesses can plan for the future
