Foreign tourists won't be allowed to visit Australia until at least 2022

The big picture: Morrison said Tuesday that after reopening borders to fully vaccinated citizens and permanent residents, the government would prioritize allowing skilled migrants and international students to return to the country, AP reports.

• “We will get to international visitors as well, I believe next year,” Morrison said, per AP.

The other side: Tourism companies in Australia are angry there is no plan in place to bring back international visitors.

• “Even if they’re not the first priority, we’d like to see how this is going to be worked out. There are many businesses that are just hanging on,” said Daniel Gschwind, chief executive of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, per AP.
