After an almost 2 year closure.

Australia is opening its borders to visitors from Monday.

It adopted a strict zero-covid policy from the beginning of the pandemic, but that is now shifting.

The Australian Prime Minister has called on international tourists to book a trip to visit the country and to bring their wallets.

Scott Morrison is re-opening the borders after almost two years of a covid closure tomorrow.

The nation's economy has lost an estimated 63 billion euro during that time, in cash that would have come from visitors.

Scott Morrison says over 50 flights from far flung destinations like the United States and Canada are due to land there on Monday.
