After 704 days, Australia finally welcomes all fully vaccinated international tourists, business travellers and other visa holders from 21 February. While there will be a considerable lag before arrivals return to their pre-pandemic levels, the long road to recovery for crippled tourism businesses starts now.
“Today, fortress Australia at last comes to an end. This is the moment tourism business, devastated by international border closures, have been waiting 23 long months for,” ACCI chief executive Andrew McKellar said.
