Flexible Labour Markets, Ethnicity and Tourismrelated Migration in Australia and New Zealand

  • Chapter
Tourism and Migration

Part of the book series: The GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 65))

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the impact of particular groups of non-English speaking tourists on local labour markets in an Australia/New Zealand setting. Japanese and Korean tourism to the Gold Coast and Far North Queensland (Cairns based) Regions of Australia, and Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean tourism to the Rotorua Region of New Zealand, are examined for clues as to the importance of tourism induced (consumption-led) labour migration in promoting regional tourism.
