Yes inbound tourism in Australia is way down, but it's not all due to politics. To my surprise, NZ still has a mandatory seven-day self-isolation after testing positive.
Even London flights to Hong Kong and Shanghai are way more competitive than from North America. Canada and the US markets need more competition. I'm jealous of what the Europeans are getting!
