I think for many Australians with family overseas that they are desperate to see, a 7 day home quarantine is something many would be willing to accept, in exchange for a month overseas for example. Especially if you are a professional who can work from home, or a cashed up boomer with little else to spend your money on.
I agree inbound tourism probably won't take off just yet (try explaining to a French backpacker that they can't go from Byron to the Gold Coast), but for other sectors like international students that should be roaring come early next year.
I feel like things are looking up!
