While 95 per cent of respondents perceive tourism as a 'fun' sector to work in, only 28 per cent believe that young people are fairly treated in the industry.

A report into the future of Australia's young tourism workers has found the industry needs to hit the reset button if it wants to attract a strong workforce in the years to come.A national survey of young tourism workers found more needs to be done to attract a strong workforceThe report is calling for young people to have a bigger say in decision-making

"This report highlighted how difficult the previous 18 months were for young people in tourism," said co-author Hugh Fitzpatrick, who is chair of the Young Tourism Network. "Operators need to be able to articulate their purpose much more clearly, their alignment to sustainability, having annual reports that signal that is what we're about, and we're demonstrating it because we're tracking it – that's an expectation of young people," Mr Sykes said.

"I think most people in life want job security, and with snap lockdowns, we have a decline in young people applying for positions at the moment," Mr Reade said. "And we need to flip it on its head, and see the tension as a creative force and open up that intergenerational collaboration."Hospitality business owner Natasha Thompson said a bigger say for young people would help ensure a strong future for the industry.
