The Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) has welcomed said the Tasmanian Government’s plans to implement “safe travel bubbles” with South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia from 7 August 2020.
“Travel bubbles between states and countries that are already low risk is the most realistic solution to re-opening our borders in a controlled and responsible way. There is also a compelling economic imperative to do so,” said AFTA CEO, Darren Rudd.
“While the easing of border restrictions in most states is good news, the reality is that until international borders open, the travel and tourism sector as a whole will continue to struggle, and ongoing tailored support is key.
Whether these travel bubbles mean you’re back travelling for work or finally getting away for that much-needed break or visiting family and friends, by booking with your local accredited ATAS travel agent, you get experience you can trust.”
