The beleaguered tourism industry is supercharging its appeal to the federal government for more support in its new ‘save the travel industry’ campaign, as the end of JobKeeper edges closer in March.
The campaign, which kicked off on Monday, is led by Matt Leedham, founder of Karryon and Travel to Change the World, and other industry players, including Darren Rudd, chief executive of Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) and Dennis Bunnik of the Council of Australian Tour Operators.
The industry groups say that if a targeted rescue package does not kick in as soon as JobKeeper winds up on March 28, only one-in-10 travel agents will survive beyond April.
