Absolutely.Dont get me wrong, I am talking about the CPC here not the Chinese people. I have a few Chinese friends and they are wonderful people
It will take months until the global travel restrictions are completely lifted and years until worldwide demand for air travel returns to pre-crisis levels
Looking to the longer term implications, business is starting to acknowledge what many have been thinking:

And then add the so called foreign students.I think it will take years to lift the travel restrictions.
Probably anyone who wants to come here will need to need to isolate for 14 days on their arrival as is the case now. We have seen what one cruise ship can do and the same applies to airlines.
International air and sea travel won't be normal unless and until there is a vaccine or effective treatment.
The tourism industry will be stuffed for at least 5 years I reckon and its one of our biggest employers.
And then add the so called foreign students.
I can not see how airfares could return to the cheap level they were nearly 30y ago, a one way trip from europe was $2000 from memory
That would easily translate to a 8k return in nowadays dollars
I expect travel costs to easily double
A bummer, and then add quarantine costs and time at least initially.
Which realistically would kill pretty much all leisure tourism, business travel except long term, concert tours, international sport etc.Probably anyone who wants to come here will need to need to isolate for 14 days on their arrival as is the case now.
A job prospect survey conducted by SEEK found that only 53 per cent of Australian’s feel positive about their future job prospects. The survey also indicated job security had dropped from 66 per cent in January to 53 per cent at the end of March.“Two distinct changes are occurring in Australia’s labour market right now,” Ms Banks said. "Unfortunately there is a mass reduction in the number of jobs available at a national level, whilst simultaneously there is an urgent demand for workers in specific industries.”
Probably worth starting a question and answer thread, covering remote Australian destinations, how to get there, what to take, what expect etc.Which realistically would kill pretty much all leisure tourism, business travel except long term, concert tours, international sport etc.
What’s left would be immigrants or long term (years) visitors and the odd person on a one-off visit to see the family members they’ve never met etc.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, just noting the consequences. The whole tourism industry would be shrunk to the point that it would no longer be a significant thing economically.
Same everywhere. Not many people would be really so keen to go to Paris or New York that they’re willing to spend two weeks effectively in prison (quarantine) in order to do so then another stint locked up upon returning home.
Domestic tourism operators would logically benefit though, especially those which weren’t really on the map so far as international tourists are concerned.
Ordinary Australians might finally get around to seeing the ACT, SA or western NSW if going overseas is virtually impossible. Some of those towns that everyone’s heard of but most Australians have never been to might actually benefit from it all if they go about it the right way. Etc.

I know there are people who would love to cross the Simpson Desert, the Great Central road, Kings Canyon, East and West McDonald Ranges, the Nullabor, Cape Levique etc.
But are worried or have no idea where to start, which is the best way and what to carry.
There will be a lot of member's on ASF who will be able to help with info, just a thought.

Tasmania, South Australia, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland have also imposed mandatory self-isolation requirements on non-essential travellers from interstate – including residents returning home.

I think it's quite likely the international border will be the last thing to be eased off. As a release, pent up demand and also stimulus to economy, regional then interstate travel may be allowed and even encouraged down the trackAren't some states already enforcing the same 2 week quarantine for anyone (even residents) who cross the border as well?
Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said it was plausible to eradicate the virus by keeping the community locked down until the virus has run its course and infection rates were zero.
"The issue, though, is that then you don't have any immunity in the population and you really have to control your borders in a very aggressive way. And that might be for a long time,'' he said
They are yes.Aren't some states already enforcing the same 2 week quarantine for anyone (even residents) who cross the border as well?
Turns out there was a bank run back in March.
