The tourism industry is estimated to have been one of the hardest hit by the economic fallout of the coronavirus crisis. Ms Osmond told Sky News "before we get too optimistic,” tourism operators would have to wait for the premiers’ announcements on the states’ and territories’ independent timelines. “As a whole the industry is now pretty focused on what recovery looks like and that bright light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.
“Aviation will be critical to the rebirth of the domestic tourism economy in the first instance and hopefully the rebirth of business travel here in Australia too. “I do think the other part of this is confidence, it’s all very well to turn the tap back on but Australians have to feel confident about travelling, that it will be safe and – if in fact they have got leave because many people will have used up their paid leave as part of this process.
It appears that Queensland isn’t even looking at opening the border before July and if nsw or Victoria have the numbers like now it won’t be happening. Talked all week about flying to NZ and can’t drive from tweed heads to Coolangatta
That's a nice looking rock. We should get tourists to pay to climb it. Must be a great view from the top. What an adventure. 👍
It's Not up to the Federal Government. They can give guidelines but it is Up to the State's for Certainly and Clarity. ScottyFomMarketing just clouds the water.
Lifting KJ support early for those who supply tourism and those who supply services that support it is a big mistake, borders will remain closed, travellers restricted for a long time to come and the industry needs to pivot to a much smaller different customer base, new products

Australia should have 'never had a lockdown' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor John Ruddick says given the minimal effects COVID-19 has had on a majority of Australian patients, 'we should not have had a lockdown'.\n\nMr Ruddick pointed to Cedar Meats, which has become Victoria's largest COVID cluster now the origin of 62 coronavirus cases, and noted how none of those patients have been admitted to ICU and almost all of them have experienced mild-to-no symptoms.\n\nHe said COVID-19 quite clearly has a minimal effect on the younger and able-bodied, so the government should not have locked down the nation, but protected the more vulnerable because 'this thing attacks older frail people'.\n\nMr Ruddick told Sky News host Chris Smith Australia 'should have been like Sweden who have not wrecked their economy' and in comparison to other western European nations, have a relatively low death rate per one million people.\n Must watch and share This documentary ( out today ) is disturbing , she was in one of the clips I sent you before , now do a report on this and then you will get AUSSIES attention, the video attached has no meaning Locking down and having 1000’s & 1000’s of suicides until no new cases only makes sense to those in politics who bank on the public never having access to actual suicide rate data. Most people can never see past their own noses so they just might get away with it. Pathetic John Ruddick is an idiot....does Sky News prowl the alleys looking for every fruit loop they can find.....only reason its had a so called minimal effect is because we LOCKED DOWN.....Maybe John would like a wee dram
