Tourism 'at end of the line ' and jobs at risk

THE nation's tourism sector has slammed the Rudd Government for not
coming to the aid of the struggling industry despite giving billions
to the car industry, saying they were placed at the "back of the line"
because they did not have union backing.

The attack came as figures released by the Australian Bureau of
Statistics yesterday showed the number of foreign visitors to
Australia plummeted 5.1 per cent in November

The number of travellers heading overseas outstripped the number of
foreign visitors to the country by more than 35,000 -- the biggest
tourist deficit in 23years.

Industry leaders, due to meet informally today with staff from Tourism
Minister Martin Ferguson's office, yesterday said an economic
assistance package was essential to head off major job losses.

Australian Tourism Export Council managing director Matthew Hingerty
said: "It (tourism industry assistance) is going to cost the taxpayer
significantly less than the car industry funding package.


Kevin Rudd announced a $6.2billion assistance package for the car
industry in November.

Mr Hingerty said he was "taken aback" by the sharp drop-off in
overseas visitors, which was more dramatic than expected.

He said forecasts pointed to a further 4.2 per cent slump in foreign
visitors this year, which represented a $1billion fall in export
revenue, or 200,000 visitors.

Since a peak in July, the number of visitors in November from the US
dropped 9.5 per cent, from Japan 14.1 per cent, China 9.7 per cent and
Singapore 10.1 per cent, in seasonally adjusted terms.

Over the year to November, the number of Australians travelling
overseas climbed 2.3 per cent.

The industry is seeking tax incentives to boost domestic travel.

It is also seeking at least $60million in new funding

to help the tourism industry develop emerging overseas markets.

That includes a $50 million boost to the Export Market Development
Grants Scheme and a new $10 million a year innovation fund.

Anecdotal evidence suggests domestic travel , as domestic airfares
this month hit a 17-year low.

Mr Hingerty stressed not all tourism businesses could switch from
international to domestic travel, with many geared to specific
markets.

Australian Federation of Travel Agents chief executive Jayson Westbury
said travel agents had not seen a shift from international to domestic
bookings.

"I definitely think the Government needs to provide an economic
stimulus for the industry because it's such an enormous employer," he
said.

Not all tourism operators are hurting as a result of the global
financial turmoil.

At the $4000-a-night Palazzo Versace, a six-star Gold Coast hotel
frequented by the celebrity set, well-heeled oil sheiks and Indian
entrepreneurs are keeping business brisk. "We've been particularly
busy," the hotel's director of sales and marketing, Peter Grace, said
yesterday.
