- Tourism dispersal is creating new economic opportunities for more people in emerging destinations as they look for ways to combat rising costs of living
As the travel revolution continues to unfold, the benefits of tourism are spreading further afield into regional Australia and New Zealand, and empowering locals to earn a living and make ends meet, new analysis by Airbnb reveals.
With people continuing embracing flexible new approaches to travel and living, communities that have traditionally missed out in the past are increasingly well-positioned to secure a bigger slice of the tourism pie, according to new Airbnb report Further afield: Spreading the benefits of the travel revolution. Full report can be found here.
That’s presenting fresh opportunities for locals looking for new ways to supplement their income as they grapple with rising costs of living.
Airbnb said they are committed to continuing to work together with governments and other stakeholders to keep inspiring travellers to step off the beaten path and help ensure more communities can share in the benefits of tourism. Airbnb first formed a partnership with Australian Regional Tourism in 2020 to help farmers across the nation diversify their businesses by becoming farm stays and accommodating agritourism. The partnership involved a bespoke toolkit for farmers looking to earn extra income through hosting, and was later expanded to include funding for the development of a National Agritourism Sector Development Plan.
