Australia Key City Hotel Market Outlook

Australia’s economic recovery in early 2022 was more robust than anticipated, with the unemployment rate near a half-century low and export prices at record highs. However, the international tourism sector faces a slower recovery due to expensive travel costs, complex travel requirements, and the ongoing risk of new COVID-19 variants. Domestic tourism is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2022-23, surpassing them by 2023-24, though Victoria and other territories may experience delayed recoveries due to prolonged lockdowns.
