The Queensland tourism sector is raising concerns over the federal budget’s failure to address the state’s struggling tourism providers.
With international borders expected to remain closed until 2022, the sector is asking for more certainty and more support.
Queensland Tourism Industry Council CEO Daniel Gschwind said greater acknowledgment of the sector and its struggles are needed, due to its importance to the economy.
"The tourism industry has certainly been the first into the crisis and will probably the last out of this crisis," said Mr Gschwind.
"I think a greater acknowledgement of a sector that is so important to the economy would have been welcome."
