Travel by Jeremy Pierce Premium Content   Queensland s battered tourism industry has suffered a $13 billion wipe-out as the full cost of the coronavirus pandemic can finally be laid bare. New figures from Tourism Research Australia show Queensland s tourism industry - a $26 billion empire at the end of 2019, was slashed in half last year as international travel bans, border closures, and COVID outbreaks decimated travel. In an encouraging sign, Queensland has weathered the storm better than major rivals NSW and Victoria, but some have questioned whether the State Government is doing enough to help kickstart tourism s revival. There are also fears of more dark times ahead as the full impact of the end of JobKeeper comes into effect, with dire predictions that up to a quarter of Queensland s 40,000 tourism businesses could go broke before emerging from the pandemic.
