'Australia is open for business': Minister announces $76m tourism recovery funding

He said funding for international visits would be targeted at visiting journalists rather than celebrities.

Through Tourism Australia, the government is providing an additional $9.5 million for its international media and travel trade hosting program, as well as $6.5 million to support tourism businesses attending at its annual trade event.

That sounds very strange. The Government is dipping into the 2billion fire disaster fund! That is what is been setup for. To help people in need.

Nobody would want to come here surely ?

They seriously can't help themselves, maybe throw Scotty Cam some more cash to do SFA.

Spend the $76 million on ppl who need it not ad ppl

A speck of dust is a mountain?

The image we sent to the world was that the entire country was on fire. I can kind of see why tourists are scared to visit now.

Why is anyone going to come to country on holidays when it’s dirty and it’s got air pollution? There are no parks to visit or fauna to see? Poor environmental standards are not okay.

That's Great! Last Week MSM grizzled about losing Tourism while Crying ClimateMAKE UP YOUR MINDS! Is Albo/LABOR/MSM KNOWINGLY Pushing UN$Climate FRAUD to rob Australian's?

No amount of advertising will get the big-spending Europeans to come back - now that Australia's reputation as a fossil fuel lover has been exposed, worldwide. SimonBirmingham MP

Morrison vacations in Hawaii while Australia burns there’s labor’s attack adds rite there Morrison’s pmship is over and every coalition mp knows it auspol

Imagine having fire fighters campaign against every lnp politician and on Election Day hand out how to vote cards against every lnp politician auspol

Whether Scott Morrison likes it or not his prime ministership is over its only a matter of time before his party removes him as pm auspol

Just to think the government could have thrown a lot less money and resources at those fires in the initial 24hours Aloha HowGoodIsPrevention

Since when did the Bushfire recovery fund become the latest LNP slush fund that they can dip into at will to pay for the next brain fart that some marketing nuffie has had ScottyFomMarketing sooty

Well done to Mr Morrison and team.

Oh saints preserve us !!!! He needs to drop his love affair regarding tourism right now and concentrate on more urgent matters. THEN put time, money and effort into this issue.

Government’s ‘urgent injection’ into the Australian tourism industry.ScottMorrisonMP has announced an “urgent injection” of tourism funding as the bushfire crisis creates the biggest challenge to tourism “in living memory”. auspol ScottMorrisonMP Will the $76 million pay for an ad about how amazing burnt out wastelands are? Imagine all the opportunities for post-apocalyptic photography! Although, to be fair, that does sound kind of cool.... ScottMorrisonMP This is not how tourism works. You need something to look at not just charred bush and dead animals. And places to stay - the last I looked - those placed burned to the ground too.. ScottMorrisonMP There are costs and consequences of not trying to prevent climate change-and those costs will be higher, far higher than prevention. But as usual, we as a species act too late. It is *very* difficult to cool down a planet once it gets warm and feedback processes add more heating
