University of Technology Sydney Tourism Expert and Lecturer, Dr David Beirman said last week in an interview with the ABC, that he suspected that the Federal Government’s international travel ban was an error and it should have been an advisory, with as a result of the ban, Australia having emerged globally as one of the most extreme countries.

He also suspected that the Federal Government was getting ready to open up international borders, but he did not indicate when, but did say that for Australia it would be a “bubble by bubble” process and proposition and they really needed to be two wany bubbles.

Dr Beirman said that after New Zealand, reciprocal two-way bubbles, as Australia also viewed in these countries as a safe destination due to its overall COVID-19 record, could be formed with Fiji, other Pacific nations, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Vietnam where COVID numbers were low and even China but that might be affected by political issues.

Dr Beirman also mentioned that Qantas is planning to chase new Asian opportunities as speculation mounts Australia could form those COVID-19 bubbles with countries that have low virus numbers.
