The Victorian government is at odds with its federal counterpart regarding the vaccination status of international tourists when Australia’s borders reopen on 21 February. The federal government has advised that inbound travellers will only be required to have two COVID-19 vaccine doses. However, Premier Daniel Andrews says the state will require tourists to have a booster shot if the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommends that people must have had three doses in order to enter the country. This could lead to international visitors being barred from hospitality, retail and entertainment venues in Victoria, in a new blow for the tourism industry.

Virgin Australia Holdings CEO John Borghetti says it will take some time for a lower Australian dollar to stimulate growth in the number of foreign tourists. The full impact is most likely to be experienced in the second half of 2015. The airline is expanding its regional routes. From 25 May 2015, Virgin will offer six flights a week between Sydney and Tamworth
