Queensland tourism booking booms following border announcement

Sky News Australia published this video item, entitled “Queensland tourism booking booms following border announcement” – below is their description.

The Queensland tourism sector will finally receive a much-needed boost as the state prepares to open to Victoria from December 1. Flight Centre alone has seen the largest number of domestic bookings in its history. The company’s CEO Graham Turner last night told Sky News about 45 per cent of their online bookings were from Melbourne to Brisbane or the Gold Coast. “Queensland is a big beneficiary of this,” he said. Tourism operators, however, continue to look to the Palaszczuk government for further clarity on what constitutes a major outbreak which could potentially trigger border closures.
