Australia Tourism has seen huge ups and down in past few years. Major
setback for the Australia tourism was COVID 19. International travel
restrictions and risk of spreading contamination from travelling resulted
decline in tourism growth. Worldwide lockdown and closer of business
including hospitality business cause huge unemployment. Hotels, resort
and tourism related business were shutdown with a risk of rapid
transmission of covid. Financial Crisis made hard for most of the business
to cover their daily expenses. Covid 19 effect was so strong that after uplift
of travel restriction also, people were having hard time to get jobs and
tourism business were that people were struggling financially and

travelling was not possible. Hospitality business were recovering in slow
pace because of lack of international tourists. After year of Covid 19 there is
improvement in Australia’s tourism sector business are reviving, people
getting their job back and which is helping in recovering economy. Another
factor effecting Australia tourism must be inflations, because of inflation
services, product including accommodation and dining has made Australia
