Tourism Australia Aims at 1 Million Visitors from India by 2030

Australia counts on Indian tourists to improve visitor numbers, with a million Indian visitors expected by 2030. “The Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement with India, which was inked last month India, is expected to bring more Indian tourists to Australia. Under the trade agreement, 1,000 young Indians will be able to work and earn in Australia each year. In addition, within two years, Australia will put rules that will allow eligible Indian citizens aged 18 to 30 to apply for a work and holiday visa, allowing them to visit Australia for a year and work or study.

The India-Australia Economic and Trade Agreement will boost work, study, and travel options for Indians. Through expanded post-study employment rights for STEM students, they have access to work and holiday visas for young Indians and an annual quota for qualified Indian chefs and yoga teachers. Following the execution of the Agreement, more information would be released, "According to an Australian High Commission spokeswoman in New Delhi.

The trade agreement also allows 1,800 Indian traditional cooks and yoga teachers to join Australia as temporary service vendors for four years. In addition, the duration of Indian students' post-study work visas has been extended to four years. Australia embracing yoga teachers, chefs, and students staying longer after graduation will boost the tourism industry," said Nishant Kashikar (Tourism Australia's country manager for India and the Gulf). In the pre-COVID era, 115,000 students were studying in Australia, according to Kashikar, and this figure is expected to rise dramatically in the coming years.

According to Kashikar, there is a significant unmet demand for Indian travellers to visit Australia, seeing a surge in bookings and Australia visitor visa applications. Kashikar further stated that aircraft capacity on India-Australia routes will have tripled by December of this year. "We had eight flights a week before COVID, but that will increase to 23 flights a week by September 14 when Qantas begins service between Sydney and Bangalore," he said.

Last month, Australia's leading airline, Qantas, announced the launch of its first direct service between Sydney and Bangalore, with four weekly return flights beginning in September. The direct connection to southern India is projected to drive Indian visitors to Australia, with Bangalore accounting for a large portion of overall Indian arrivals. Bangalore was second in arrivals and third in spending among Indian visitors visiting Australia before COVID. The market attracted 41,000 visitors, accounting for 11% of all Indian visitors to Australia.

The initial goal for Tourism Australia is to attract 400,000 visits and A$ 1.8 billion in spending from Indian tourists in the first full year of operations, or by March 2023, and Kashikar is looking forward to Australia's hosting of the T20 Men's World Cup in October-November. In 2022, he estimates that the cricket event will bring 20,000 Indian visitors to Australia. ​
