Australian visas to be granted to 92,000 hospitality workers by 2015 to meet skills shortage

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 27, 2012 –
Australia’s hospitality and tourism industry is so short staffed the government is in discussions to import 36,000 cooks, waiters, hotel managers, bartenders and other skilled workers to fill vacancies; with another 56,000 needed by 2015, according to federal Tourism Minister, Martin Ferguson.

This situation has been caused to a significant extent by Australians moving from the hospitality industry into higher paying mining and resources jobs.  With tourism being worth $35 billion annually to Australia, the government needs to act quickly to address the situation, particularly in regional areas.
A template labour agreement will be developed, to help to ease labour and skills pressures by improving the tourism and hospitality industry’s ability to attract and retain labour in some of the occupations identified by the industry as being in critical shortage.

Australia’s Immigration Minister, Mr Chris Bowen, said the agreement would cover waiters, chefs, bar attendants, hotel managers and other occupations which are hard to fill locally, or may be ineligible under other migration programs.

Under the new hospitality visa plan, tourism and hospitality employers would be able to bring in workers on a two to three year visa similar to the subclass 457 visa program.

“Of course, employers would need to show they are doing their best to employ and train domestic workers and paying market rates,” he said.

‘Approved employers could nominate workers for temporary skilled subclass 457 visas using the template, enabling workers to be granted visas where they meet the requirements.

Hospitality is only one of a number of areas experiencing a lack of Australian workers.  Others include taxi driving, fruit picking, domestic and commercial cleaning, labouring and car washing.

McGrath Migration Lawyers is Australia’s longest established specialist immigration law firm. With 30 years’ experience in all aspects of corporate and personal immigration, we count thousands of Australian visa holders and citizens amongst our clients.

If you’re an employer considering a subclass 457 , ENS or RSMS sponsorship to fill your business’ skills shortages, or a prospective Australian visa applicant, contact us today, for fast, friendly and professional service

China’s TourBoarding.com introduces Hosted Homestay for Organizations, a Corporate Homestay Solution

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 13, 2012 –
As housing costs for foreigners continue to rise in Beijing , Shanghai, and other densely populated cities in China, TourBoarding.com now offers a low footprint, hosted homestay solution that produces dramatic savings in corporate housing and travel costs, and at the same time, enables this cost savings to be achieved in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Launched in 2010, TourBoarding.com is the world’s first peer-to-peer travel barter site allowing travelers to pay local hosts for accommodation, meals, tour guiding, and other valuable travel benefits using their language skills as currency.

With Hosted Homestay for Organizations, TourBoarding can now extend similar benefits to foreigners in China attached to an organization, via the creation of a Group Profile, while previously such language-as-travel-currency benefits were only available to individual traveler members.

Organizations which can benefit include those that must fulfill the temporary or transitional housing needs of their foreign visitors and personnel, including students, cultural exchange participants, interns, business travelers, professionals, specialists, expatriates, NGO personnel, peace workers, and missionaries.

With payment of a modest Group Profile setup and access fee, organizations can upload onto the TourBoarding site an organizational or corporate profile as well as create associated individual profiles of the visitors, students, or personnel they are sponsoring.  The organization and their sponsored individuals can jointly access (or the organization can solely access) TourBoarding.com’s online platform to search for and connect with local hosts to obtain free travel related benefits, including homestay, home-cooked meals, tour guiding, and Chinese lessons.

In exchange for receiving these benefits free of charge, the organization’s sponsored individuals who participate in the TourBoarding exchange must agree to speak two hours daily of fluent English or other in-demand language, such as German, Russian, French, Japanese, or Korean with their local host family to help them achieve fluency in their desired foreign language.

Besides saving an organization 70-90% of their corporate travel/housing hosts, Hosted Homestay for Organizations is an ideal solution for those employers or institutions sincerely committed to showing good environmental and social cause stewardship in China, and is designed to help an organization’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Department achieve its sustainability and social impact objectives.

Additional benefits include a true cultural immersion living environment for foreign personnel who need to succeed in the local marketplace; the deeply rewarding experience from helping local Chinese learn about the languages, customs, and practices of other countries, and exposing them to educational, career development, and business opportunities; and increased goodwill, visibility, and brand appeal of the sponsoring organization.

Hosted Homestay for Organizations is also an attractive option when offered as part of an Employee Perks program where employees can enjoy free travel housing, tour guiding, and cultural activities during their leisure and vacation time, such as weekend escape trips, throughout the year.

“Right now, there are many who feel that what we are offering is radical.  But in a few years, this practice of foreigners staying with locals for mutual benefit will be commonplace throughout the world,” said Cathy Tao, TourBoarding’s Chair of International Development.

TourBoarding.com is a socially responsible, planet friendly leader in language-financed travel with its “Teach Language, Tour Free” travel barter platform, allowing international travelers to meet locals and exchange their native language skills for accommodation, tour guiding, and other valuable travel experiences in the developing world.
