MELBOURNE/KANAGAROO ISLAND, Australia - The Australian government said on Sunday it will provide financial aid to the country’s tourism sector that’s been badly hit by long-lasting bushfires, as business owners fretted about cancellations that stretch into the months ahead.

“People have stopped coming,” said Tony Coppins, owner of Kangaroo Island Safari and Kangaroo Island Ocean Safari, adding that he had received cancellations for February and March. The government said on Sunday it would channel $76 million in what it described as an initial push to help the country’s A$152 billion tourism industry, which accounts for more than 3% of annual economic output.

Rains have brought the number of fires burning across Australia’s east and south coast to under 100 for the first time in weeks, easing a disaster that has scorched an area roughly one-third the size of Germany. “Victoria is about to see its wettest two-day period in many, many months,” said Dean Narramore from the state’s Bureau of Meteorology.
