International tourists remain cautious about returning to Western Australia with the number of arrivals at 30-35 per cent of pre-pandemic levels, as domestic travellers once again soften the blow for struggling businesses.
"We'd always tried not to because our other skydiving operators in WA have really got that side of the market world tied up."
"It really depends on which market you're referring to. For example, the Singapore market is going gangbusters. We're really excited to welcome visitors back from Singapore," she said. While $48 million in funding helped to keep businesses like Ms Stutt's afloat, work still needs to be done to rebuild trust with travellers, according to Perth International Airport CEO Kevin Brown."I suspect there's an element of anxiety with a number of travellers waiting," Mr Brown said.
Mr Brown shared the hope tourism businesses were holding on to, with an expectation that international travel would continue to trend upwards. "The pent-up demand for the domestic traveller to go to wonderful places around the WA coast, and up north in the Kimberley, and Rottnest Island, is very strong for the domestic market," chief executive Grant Wilckens said.
