Youth Tourism Victoria

Victoria’s peak body for youth tourism

Youth Tourism Victoria (YTV) is a new generation, not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to support the youth tourism market in the state of Victoria. We actively work alongside like-minded organisations in this sector across Australia including BYTAP, Youth Tourism NSW, Adventure Queensland, VTIC, and Tourism Australia.

We seek to support our sector via the following methods:

Support

Support business in the sector through ongoing training and support. Our executive committee is comprised of a talented group of dedicated industry professionals with decades of support in accommodation management, tour operations, travel agent businesses, car rentals and a range of other organisations

Advocacy

Advocate to government at a local, state & national levels in support of the wider youth tourism sector. Key points that we plan on advocating include rising visa costs of working holiday visas, ongoing negative media coverage of the sector, farm worker exploitation, expansion of working holiday program to emerging countries & illegal lodgings and subletting undercutting legal hostels.

Network

Provide industry professionals with an annual calendar of networking & social events.

Fast Facts

The youth market contributes 27 per cent of all international visitor arrivals to Australia yet 45 per cent of all visitor spend.

In 2018/19 international youth tourism contributed 45% of Australia's total visitor spend. The largest contributing sector in the visitor economy (Tourism Australia).
