In this website it is said that
covid 19 has spread in all the
world and it has affected large
number of industry including
tourism industry the most. The
impact of tourism industry is on
the customers who are travelling
with them . As now customers
are not travelling at all. So this
affects the tourism industry the
most. There is a severe impact of
pandemic on the profits and
revenues of tourism sector. There
is a international traveller
restrictions to contain the spread
of virus pandemic and
precautionary behaviour on the
part of travellers have disrupted
the movement of people across
international borders.
I found this website is
important because in this
website there is a
pictures which are sown
in this websites as how
much people and tourism
sectors suffers from the
coronavirus pandemic .
This shoes that people
cannot able to come
outside and if they are
coming then there is a
use of masks and
sanitizers. This indicates
that tourism in Australia
is highly impacted by
Covid- 19 pandemic.
There is also various
places seen in this places
whee are customers are

In this website, this is sown that
tourism sector is one of the most
impacted sector from covid 19
pandemic because people stop
going outside the country for
travelling and creating
enjoyments. Due, to this many of
the tourism industry taken
measure steps in creating
structure in planning and
attracting customers again. As
now people are going again for
travelling because of less of
covid 29. this creates good
profits to tourism industry of
Australia.
I found this website is
useful for this research
because in this website
there is a travel and
tourism sector of
Australia have been left
reading from covid
pandemic. In this
website there is a ratio of
tourism sector in all the
world explains so I find
it useful for the research.
This may help me in
knowing about the ratio
of Australian tourism
sector and hoe much
they earn in their peak
period.

This website is important
because it provides the impact of
covid pandemic on Australian
tourism industry. This website
tells about the range of
Australian government relief
assistance, support and resources
is available to tourism industry
with the impact of ongoing covid
19 pandemic.
This website also I fond
useful for the project as
this shows travel
agencies which are
highly impacted by the
coronavirus pandemic
and results in decrease in
profits of tourism
industry. But now at the
time of last September

and starting of October,
customers starts to
travel. This may results
slowly increase in
tourism sector of
Australia.
