It is, of course, a relief that some
COVID-restrictions in Queensland are being eased, in response to the low, or zero, infection rate in our state. However, this still offers only limited relief for tourism operators across the state, as long as most interstate visitors are locked out and fears of future restrictions keep consumers from committing to travel even within Queensland. The situation for many businesses has further deteriorated and with the outlook for the September holidays still bleak; a growing number of operators are reaching the end of the line.
