Bart's revenue halved when borders closed, but he's adapted to keep his business alive

Broome tourism operator Bart Pigram has spent a lot of time fishing since the coronavirus pandemic disrupted Australia's borders.Indigenous tourism has lost around 80pc of its 2019 revenue or about $5.6 billion from the loss of international tourists

To stay afloat, Mr Pigram reduced the type of tours he offered, cutting back to a key visit to Broome's Mangrove Flats — or Bagul Bagul, in the Yawaru language. Bart Pigram runs Aboriginal cultural tours of the World Heritage listed Roebuck Bay in the Kimberley region in WA. Stella DeCos says revenue from international tourism is down 80 per cent for Indigenous tourism businesses.

Indigenous Business Australia has provided support to more than 680 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander firms, including $21.5 million in working capital assistance through the pandemic. Christina Davidson from ANKA says the fall in Indigenous art sales means no food on the table for artists.
