Tour Guides Australia welcomes the addition of Tour Guides to the Australian Government’s Jobs and Skills Australia’s latest Occupation Shortage List, recognising the severe shortage of Tour Guides.
Tour Guides Australia offers its industry-led Tour Guide Fundamentals Course, an entry point to an exciting career within the visitor economy and a pathway towards professional tour guide accreditation.
“The addition of Tour Guides to the Occupation Shortage List comes at an important time for the Visitor Economy and is an important element of a broader strategy to increase the quantity and quality of tour guides in Australia. Tour Guides are Australia’s on-the-ground ambassadors, bringing our natural environment and local culture to life. Tour Guides Australia welcomes the support of the Federal Government in addressing this critical need,” stated Greg Esnouf, President of Tour Guides Australia.
