Australia’s caravan industry has called on all political parties to recognise the industry’s economic potential ahead of the country’s federal election on May 21.
“The industry has been adaptive through the COVID-19 crisis and stands ready to continue leading domestic tourism and automotive manufacturing as Australia recovers,” reads a statement by Caravan Industry Association of Australia.
Australia has recorded a “30 year high” in 2021 for RV production, with a total of 23,931 recreational vehicles manufactured domestically, a 42 percent soar from 2020 and a 11.5 percent increase from 2019, according to data from the Association.
Caravan sales and prices continue to increase amid the pandemic-driven boom, with a higher than ever demand for imported and homegrown recreational vehicles.
