Budget assumptions highlight need for ongoing support Share AFTA hosted a post-budget summit at KPMG with a range of key business peak bodies and Embassy representatives The Australian Federation of Travel Agents says the Government’s confirmation in the Federal Budget that international travel is likely to “remain low through to mid-2022” highlights the critical need for ongoing support for travel agents and businesses. AFTA warns that without ongoing support until international travel resumes, travel agents and businesses will be forced to shut, erasing a critical part of the infrastructure that supports corporate and leisure travel and Australians visiting family and relatives overseas. This support is even more vital in a COVID environment.
