It’s excellent news and problem for the travel sector in Australia, as the nation avoids into a summery Christmas vacation. Some tailwinds are raising the sector while other headwinds are buffeting it. A report on Friday from John O’Shea, a senior research study expert on the Ord Minnett research study group, highlighted a number of informing charts.
