Grr graphs like that make me angry, these surveyed tourism experts need to keep pushing the governments... Australia's made it very easy to travel overseas but so many destinations that I want to go back to are still closed, Looking at the top 10 destinations Australians go...
1.
New Zealand (They're stuck in 2021, I spent 1/4 of the year last year over there thanks to the bubble but several bubble flights had ~15 people onboard as people were scared of being stuck).
2.
Indonesia (specially Bali - requires 7 days quarantine so out of the question for many).
3.
Thailand (Complex testing and isolation schemes - requires going back into an isolation hotel for another test several days after arrival)
4.
The Philippines (No entry for tourists)
5.
Japan (I transited through Haneda a few weeks ago, you could play a football match in the terminal it was that quiet).
6.
USA (Due to Americans staying at home the cost of things is just nuts, I looked at the West Coast or Hawaii over Xmas and couldn't find reasonable accommodation/rental cars).
7.
Singapore (VTL only just reopened, lets hope it stays open!)
8.
Fiji (also complex test/isolation - there's an AFF thread about it)
9.
India (Has recently reintroduced 7 days isolation upon arrival)
10.
UK (Just announced no test! Yay!)
I guess on the other side of things it's crazy that Australia is still closed to tourists. It's crazy that we allow tourists from some countries like Singapore, Japan and Korea but not others, we should open up to all but I think the Singapore/Fiji requirements of mandatory COVID-19 travel insurance should be included.
