Ms Osmond said people on the south coast of NSW and in Victoria near Gippsland are keen to see visitors return. “We know from surveying we’ve done very recently that 70 per cent of those regional communities are very, very keen to have those visitors back, and one in five of those visitors actually wants to go to a bushfire zone,” she said.
Ms Osmond pointed out the influx of cash from intrastate travel will not amount to the spend from international visitors. “Your average Chinse visitor, for example, previously would’ve spent $8,500 compared to $1,000-$2,000 that a local will spend,” she said. “We are going to need to encourage Australians to try new things and perhaps things that are a little bit more high yield.” Image: Getty
