Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Dan Tehan said travel bubbles with the UK and US could be on the cards when 80% of Australians are fully vaccinated. Singapore and Japan are other markets which could see travel bubbles introduced when it gets to herd immunity, Tehan told federal parliament.
So far, about 30% of eligible Australians have been fully vaccinated. Tehan said when the rate gets to 70% more travel curbs will be relaxed. Australia’s only travel bubble with New Zealand is currently paused due to lockdowns.
