Australians could be flying to Singapore far sooner than expected, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison set to discuss the future of travel bubbles today.
As the first stop for the Prime Minister on his way to Cornwall, UK, for the G7 summit, Mr Morrison will be discussing the future of Australia’s tourism industry following the opening of the trans-Tasman travel bubble with New Zealand in April.
Since opening the travel bubble across the Tasman, all eyes have been on where Australians will be travelling to next. Another positive is that the arrangement could also see Singapore become an intermediary country for those looking to come into Australia, which would help bring home the 36,000 or so stranded citizens waiting to return home.
