AN AIRLINE has launched a campaign to encourage tourism by selling flights from Scotland to Australia for £10. 

The campaign has been launched by the South Australian Tourism Commission to attract young travellers to visit on working holiday visas, according to Travel Weekly.

This scheme aims to help fill employment gaps and boost tourism.

From next month, Qatar Airways is selling 200 discounted return flights to Adelaide from Edinburgh, Heathrow, Manchester, or Dublin.

South Australian Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said: “South Australia is welcoming the return of working holidaymakers – it’s a real win-win for young people eager to travel and work abroad, and for our local tourism industry.

“Our tourism operators have missed having international visitors on their tours and experiences and booking up accommodation, and they’ve also missed the backpacker workforce and the vibrancy they bring.

“These backpackers foster a love for our state and our country which often inspires them to return later in life."

Travellers must be aged between 18 and 30 in the UK or 18 and 35 in Ireland, prove that they have a working holiday visa and be able to travel to Adelaide before September 30, 2022.

They must also purchase a holiday starter pack with Trailfinders from £162, which includes a three-night stay in a hostel, vouchers, and information on how to set up a bank account and find a job.

Zoe added: “Whether it’s in our bars, restaurants, wineries and hotels, or on our outback stations and farms, there are so many ways that British and Irish citizens can work in Adelaide and in regional South Australia, helping to not only fill roles but provide an economic and cultural exchange benefit which advantages both sides of the globe.

“We look forward to welcoming back young people from the UK and Ireland, and encourage them to make the most of these £10 fares.”

Darryl Newby, Co-founder of Welcome to Travel, added: 

“Travel is a privilege, and if there’s something that two years of the pandemic has taught us, it’s that - now that the world is opening up - we should take every opportunity as it comes.”

“With this new initiative from the South Australia Tourism Commission, it makes travel all the more accessible for young adults looking to start their next adventure here in Australia”.

“The best thing about this opportunity is that it is coupled up with a working holiday. People can come to Australia and get a job and be paid a minimum of $20.33AUD an hour (£11.55GBP) whilst travelling to some of the most beautiful places in the world - what’s not to love?”
