Australian tourism warned as air fares threaten industry
Queensland Minister for Tourism Herbert warned in Canberra that reduced international air fares could wreck the national tourist industry by shifting travel demand abroad. He urged a campaign to persuade Australians to explore their own country first, noting Queensland tourism revenue at 135 million last year and projected to 300 million by 1980. Domestic visitors accounted for 90 percent of state tourism income.
