Watch live: Prime Minister Scott Morrison will speak to reporters at Melbourne Airport ahead of Australia reopening its border to tourists from tomorrow.

Fortress Australia’s borders are reopening after two years to vaccinated travellers on Monday, but tourism experts warn it will take time for visitor numbers to bounce back to pre-COVID levels.

No flights are scheduled from China, which continues to pursue a zero-COVID policy. But Tourism Minister Dan Tehan said a government-sponsored tourism campaign will continue in Asian markets including China.designed to assist the tourism sector’s post-COVID-19 recovery, will run in Europe and North America, he said.

But Australian Airports Association chief executive James Goodwin said it will take some time before passenger numbers “look anywhere near pre-pandemic levels”. “As confidence builds so will the business travellers as companies re-engage without quarantines and fear of lockdowns,” he said.
