Backpacker / Youth Adventure Sector - Reports, Fact Sheets & Statistics
Some of Tourism Australia’s global marketing initiatives targeting people aged between 18 and 30 and working holiday visa makers are outlined in this global youth marketing activity update.
What backpackers really think of Australia is outlined in the findings from approximately 950 online interviews with travellers in April. Two thirds are from Western Europe and, despite noting concerns about costs, Australia remains on the ‘to-do list’ and is seen as a dream destination. The ability to work while on their trip is important and friends and family are a key influence on why they come to Australia.
