Aussie Specialist training drives international visitation and regional dispersal

Visit Victoria and Tourism Australia are continuing our partnership to train up to 60,000 travel agents around the world annually, as part of the Aussie Specialist Program.
The dedicated training sees travel agents immersed in the experiences and products Victoria has to offer the international traveller – and the results can be seen in the latest National Visitor Survey and International Visitor Survey.
The data to December 2024 shows international dispersal in regional Victoria has never been higher – and while international travel continues to recover, this program is focused on getting the numbers of travellers back, supporting an increase in visitor expenditure and delivering for our industry.
