Youth travel defies the downturn

Thursday, 05 Feb, 2009 0

MELBOURNE – The Adventure Travel & Backpackers Expo expects strong
 numbers for their upcoming show at Melbourne Royal Exhibition
 Building, February 21-22.

Director Andrew Paltridge says that exhibitor numbers are
 almost identical to last year and that he expects good numbers through the door
 over the weekend.

“Our recent expo in Sydney in November saw a double digit 
increase in visitor numbers which indicates that the adventure/youth market is
 still looking to travel in good numbers.

“We also have had recent comments 
from those companies in our Work and Travel area that UK-based recruiters are
 still seeking skilled Aussies to work, and some still have 
places to fill.”
