Following the opening of the Queensland borders to Victoria and New South Wales, a spike in domestic tourism is expected across the state, despite other ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and impact.
Due to redundancies caused by lack of work, many hospitality venues are now understaffed and seeking new employees to prepare for an influx of interstate travelers.
Ongoing venue capacity restrictions are also impacting tourism, as while more people are expected to travel, tourist venues operating on limited capacity will struggle to make financial gain in the following months.
