A ‘Live by Aussie Rules’ campaign is being instigated by STA Travel and Tourism Australia to highlight to young people in the UK the benefits of working in Australia.
The promotion, running until the end of October, includes special offers such as 10% off working holiday visas, domestic flights in Australia from £69, up to 20% off adventure tours in Australia and one-way flights to the country from £479.
A limited number of half-price working holiday visas are being made available through flash sales via STA Travel’s social media feeds on Facebook and Twitter.
STA Travel UK product and marketing director Tim Fryer said: “The working holiday visa scheme is a great way for young people to earn as they travel, meaning they’re bolstering their CV, gaining valuable work experience, living as a local while Down Under and getting some extra money to fund their travels. Its a very popular choice for our customers.”
Denise von Wald, Tourism Australia’s regional general manager UK/Northern Europe, said: “Over 35,000 young Brits travel on Australia’s working holiday visa every year living the Aussie lifestyle right across the country.
“They return home as great advocates for Australia, encouraging others to experience our wonderful wildlife, great beaches and outback adventures.”
