Last month, the Australian Government announced a $1.2 billion tourism support package which included 800,000 half-price airfares, helping a record number of Australians enjoy a holiday at home this year.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack, more than 600,000 half-price flights have been snapped up in just three weeks following the federal government’s $1.2 billion package to help tourism bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic and entice Aussies to discover Australia and support the local tourism businesses.
Mr McCormack said, “the mass uptake of bargain domestic holiday trips is a big win for the aviation industry, with domestic carriers “.
“Australians are taking trips in large numbers with airlines reporting sales dwarfing previous records – our aviation industry is in a remarkable position compared to where it was just one year ago,” Mr McCormack said in a statement on Sunday.
