Tourism Training has produced a draft Tourism and Hospitality Workforce Development Strategy in conjunction with the Australian Chamber Tourism. This document details how we might start to address replacing the 310,000 staff we have lost to 2021. This is going to be a huge task, and we all need to work together to make it happen.
The strategy proposes labour solutions from both domestic and international sources and skilling solutions for industry entrants and existing workers alike.
