Australia s Covid-battered tourism industry is set for more years of pain, with some experts predicting the sector won t recover to pre-pandemic levels until 2027.
International border restrictions and the grounding of airline fleets has sent the industry into hibernation, after it has experienced a record year in 2019.
Domestic tourists and international visitors spent $152billion on holidays that year, according to Tourism Research Australia, a 10.3 percent increase on the previous year and the 10th successive year of expenditure growth.
But revenue declined 25 percent last year and is expected to decrease by 44.8 percent in 2020-21.
