Melburnians are cancelling their regional holidays and restaurant bookings en masse rather than postponing amid fears they will be in and out of lockdown until the end of the year.
Regional businesses are ineligible for most government financial support because they are allowed to open under current restrictions and serve regional customers despite suffering a massive decline in income. “During earlier lockdowns they would alter their dates to five or six weeks ahead. Now if they alter their dates it is for next year and most people are fully cancelling,” he said. “It’s not their fault, or my fault, we are all caught in this together.”
Heather Gleeson, the co-owner of Calgary House and Cottage in Killarney, in south-west Victoria, has also noticed a shift in the attitudes of Melbourne travellers.
