CANBERRA’S already struggling businesses and tourist attractions
have been hit by a “wave of cancellations” since areas of Sydney went into lockdown last week, according to Canberra Business Chamber CEO Graham Catt.
“In the school holiday period we’d normally be seeing a lot of people traveling to Canberra to visit friends and family and a large number of people on their way to the snow and down to other parts of the region that of course now can’t,” Mr Catt said.
“We are fortunate we don’t currently have any cases but there’s a real concern out there and that sense of uncertainty has an impact not only on customers plans to make decisions, but for businesses themselves in their ability to prepare.”
