More than 120,000 workers will be needed in the tourism industry over the next five years.

That includes about 60,000 skilled workers, The Australian Tourism Labour Force report, commissioned by Austrade and produced by Deloitte Access Economics, has found.

There has also been a reduction in the use of overseas workers, now making up 10 per cent of the sector, down from 13 per cent in 2011.
