The Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) today welcomed the South Australian border opening and the relaxation of the QLD border restrictions.Quotes attributable to AFTA CEO Darren Rudd:
“AFTA continues to work closely with State and Territory Governments to make sure they understand the impact of border closures on our members and the need for tailored support. This includes the work I have been doing directly with the SA Premier and his team as well as with the office of the QLD Premier. This is in addition to the comprehensive Federal activation currently underway as part of AFTA’s National Mobilisation Campaign.”
“Clearly the sooner the borders are completely open, the better. South Australia’s decision is very welcome and Queensland’s expansion of the border bubble to allow an additional five local government areas to enter the state is a step in the right direction, especially given New South Wales has just 16 active cases which are predominantly returned international travellers and zero locally acquired cases.”
