The Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade, through the Trade Subcommittee (the Committee), has launched an inquiry into Australia’s tourism and international education sectors, with a focus on the operation of both sectors in the post-COVID-19 world.

The Chair of the Trade Subcommittee, Senator Deborah O’Neill commented, “Both the tourism and international education sectors have contracted substantially since the emergence of COVID-19. In relation to international education, the Committee is interested in hearing about innovations in the delivery of online education to strengthen the sector’s resilience.

The Committee looks forward to understanding how both sectors can be best supported so they can be positioned as key contributors to the post-COVID-19 recovery of Australia’s economy.”

The Committee will also consider the effectiveness of recent tourism campaigns overseas and how Australia can support tourism in the Asia Pacific region.
