Australia Reopens Borders to International Tourists as Strict COVID-19 Controls Relaxed

• Australia Monday reopened its borders to double vaccinated international tourists. They have been shut out since March 2020 under some of the world's toughest COVID-19 measures.
  
  Nine million foreign visitors used to head to Australia each year, but now the tourism industry is hoping that two years of disruption are coming to an end.
  
  More than 50 international flights were scheduled to land in Australia on Monday as its borders reopened.
  
  Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the country was "going from COVID cautious to COVID confident when it comes to travel." While many tourism businesses share his enthusiasm, some believe the recovery will be slow and that it will take time for overseas visitors to return in large numbers.
