Executive Summary
This submission has been prepared on behalf of the Backpacker and Youth Tourism Advisory Panel (BYTAP). BYTAP is the peak industry body for the youth tourism sector of the visitor economy and is supported by three formal, incorporated state-based youth tourism associations in Australia; Adventure Queensland (AQ), Youth Tourism Victoria (YTV), and Youth Tourism NSW (YTNSW). These entities combined, represent over 100 members from the youth tourism industry and the interests of many hundreds of their employees.
In addition to its formal ties to three existing state-based youth associations, BYTAP consults regularly with youth tourism operators in other states and territories, and maintains regular contact with state and federal tourism bodies, the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) and Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF).
BYTAP welcomes the steps being taken to encourage Working Holiday Makers (WHMs) to visit, work and travel in regional Australia, and to make this experience a positive one.
On behalf of BYTAP, I would be pleased to elaborate on BYTAP’s response in this paper.
Yours sincerely,
WENDI AYLWARD – CHAIRPERSON
