For most of my life the average family didn’t consider overseas holidays. The top 3% of families might have. Then in the 70s uni kids would have a very cheap hike around Europe.
We used to holiday in a seaside town. No TV, the family bonded and played board games at night. It wasn’t bad.
There were no exotic tourists about the place.
Australians now spend more AUD in overseas travel than tourists bring in.
Lets just spend our tourist dollars in Australia. Did we really enjoy airports anyway?
As for not having backpackers, we need a way to encourage our own young to pick fruit. It can’t be beyond our imagination.
Having a few years of no immigrants for our infrastructure to catch up would be good too.
