After two years in mothballs, Australia’s tourism industry has roared back to life, with Qantas crediting an expected $1.3bn half-year profit to the strength of travel demand.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said revenue from leisure travellers was now at 130 per cent of pre-Covid levels, and business travel spending at 100 per cent.
Cairns Aquarium owner Daniel Leipnik said Tourism Research Australia data showed visitors were up 24 per cent on pre-Covid levels, driven by a huge influx of domestic tourists.
