SUPPORTING OUR TOURISM

SECTOR THROUGH COVID-19

To support our tourism sector through the

Coronavirus crisis, the Australian Government has:

• Allocated $1 billion to a Relief and Recovery Fund

that includes tourism as a large part of its focus.

• Waived Environmental Management Charges to

31 Dec 2020, resulting in around $3 million in

savings for the industry.

• Waived the tourism operator Marine Park permit
fees to 30 June 2021.

• Allocated $94.6 million to support zoos and

aquariums.

• Commissioned $109.8 million to reimburse tourism

and export businesses for marketing costs.

If you have questions relating to help for tourism

operations – or general enquiries about COVID-19
support packages – please do not hesitate to

contact me.
