New South Wales (NSW) state ministers say they are being left behind in the newly announced federal tourism support package. The package, announced on March 10, is part of a $1.2 billion support package for the struggling Australian tourism industry and will subsidise half the cost of 800,000 airfare tickets for domestic travellers to 13 regions.
Of the 13 announced destinations, only one location in NSW was listed. Meanwhile, Queensland had five locations that occupied the list of eligible destinations.
