See economy before it's environment

There are many other areas to explore, how about promoting them as well as wanting tourists back in the Fire Zones! Ppl will be wary though of course of going back too soon in those zones because of hazards with trees falling etc! Australia is so full of places to see! 🇦🇺

Forget about pleasing tourist and immigrants start pleasing Australians

The cost of inaction is mounting. A pity ScottyfromMarketing didn't listen to experts warning about the MorrisonFires

I bet the ridiculous price of cigarettes is doing more damage to tourism.

Let's not worry too much about people that have died then..

So we need to plan ahead. Replace old burnt trees with cannabis plants so next bush fire season the smoke will be weed smoke giving everyone a free seasion. Watch tourism rise like never before. 420 420friendly bushfires rain smoke

Worst part is we brought all these immigrants and refugees here and now there's no resources for us let alone them as well

More than likely not. AuSenate AustralianLabor LiberalAus will promote massively towards China and allow China to come in and take over as much land property as humanly possible. They have already allowed water supplies in Qld whilst Australia was burning

As long as I can afford the tickets I will always love to make tourism in this awesome country.

Trade in gratuitous arse shots is on the up though.

Just send them to WA

We cannot control nature whether it is fire, storms, floods, that's why we must prepare for these events. We should promote more than sunny beaches etc., these pastimes are available worldwide but we have a rich culture that I don't think we promote enough, arts/music/museums etc

Who is looking at the smoke?

Who cares about tourism help the people who are suffering first

fair enough!🤷🏻‍♀️ Consequences are real! I really hope australians wake up for real🙏🏻

ScottMorrisonMP will have a plan 🙏- or sufficient excuses! Liberals are prepared!

How will government’s budget be then?

Why so fucking surprised. Scott Morrison was fired from both Aus and NZ tourism boards. Now we know why.

Catastrophic of course.
