Australia’s Northern Territory (NT ) Government will invest $12.8 million (US$9.1 million) into attracting international travellers and workers back to the NT after pandemic border closures and restrictions have led to critical skill shortages across the Territory.
The incentives will capitalise on the Federal Government’s recent announcement that international borders will re-open to fully vaccinated travellers on Feb.21, in an attempt to reinvigorate a visitor economy that was worth $2.4 billion (US$1.71 billion) a year to the NT before the pandemic.
