Federal tourism minister Dan Tehan said it is unlikely international travel will resume for another year and so the Morrison government is considering targeted financial support for tourism businesses economically impacted by Australia’s CCP virus restrictions.
“I’ve already been engaging heavily with the tourism industry to listen to their concerns and also to get thoughts, ideas and feedback from them as to how the government may be able to assist them while we wait for international tourism to come back online,” Tehan said in an interview, The Guardian reported on Saturday.
