Tourism & Transport Forum defends WHV system
Far from taking jobs from young Australians, working holiday makers add to demand in our economy, creating business and employment opportunities across Australia, according to peak national industry group, Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF).
TTF Chief Executive Ken Morrison said working holiday makers are a very valuable group of visitors.
“We would also like to see the scheme extended to countries Australia is targeting with our tourism marketing, like China and India, giving young people from those countries the opportunity to get to know Australia intimately and form those valuable, lasting relationships that are so beneficial to our economy.
“We know these negotiations take time so we would like the federal government to put these countries on the agenda in the near future,” Mr Morrison said.
