Travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand from 19 April welcomed by business events chiefs

Travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand from 19 April welcomed by business events chiefs Australian and New Zealand residents will be able to travel between the two nations without having to quarantine from 19 April. The announcement, 6 April, of the opening of a travel bubble between the two countries was welcomed by the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) and by Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) in New Zealand. New Zealand travellers have been allowed to enter most Australian states without quarantine for several months already, though this had not been reciprocated. ATEC said the bubble would help to re-establish some of Australia’s long term travel relationships and mark the first step in reopening Australia’s export tourism industry to international visitors.

Australia s tourism industry at risk without JobKeeper replacement

The Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) has said that the country’s tourism industry is “at risk” without a replacement for the JobKeeper scheme. The JobKeeper scheme is currently providing funds to businesses the government deems to be “significantly affected” by Covid-19. It was recently extended to 28 March 2021, but no plans to extend it beyond that have been announced. ATEC Managing Director Peter Shelley said: ““Inbound tour operators (ITOs) have been the backbone of the export tourism industry, providing the conduit for millions of visitors coming to Australia each year. “With the end of JobKeeper, international borders closed and no further support, 81% of ITO businesses will close and that will destroy Australia’s ability to quickly get back in the game once borders reopen.”

/ Posted on 4 February, 2021 16:44 A survey by the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) showed that 55 per cent of tourism businesses in Australia will not survive till September without some kind of government support, while international borders remain closed. Against that bleak outlook for 2021, the ATEC is calling on the federal government to provide further financial support to the tourism industry, specifically, the export tourism businesses which are unable to operate at anywhere near their previous levels. One year into the pandemic, and Australian tourism business are running on empty “Tourism businesses were optimistic that by now international borders would be open and they would be seeing visitors return, but all indications are that these businesses face yet another tough year,” ATEC managing director Peter Shelley said.
