1. The purpose of the Grant is to:

a. drive more domestic tourists to travel to key nominated regions that have suffered significant adverse impacts from the loss of international tourists;

b. support jobs within the Australian tourism industry by having an economic multiplier effect, as travellers spend money on accommodation, food and activities in these regions;

c. support jobs in the aviation industry by increasing the network footprints of airlines operating these domestic tourism routes, and therefore increasing the number of airline workers staffing and servicing the aircraft, as well as workers in associated ground handling services and airports;

d. reduce the cost to consumers of flying on nominated routes by reducing ticket prices for flights taken during the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2021 (inclusive) to designated regions that are heavily reliant on tourism (TANS Grant Part 1); and

e. increase the number of flights above minimum connectivity on nominated routes (creating tourism aviation surge capacity) during the same period (TANS Grant Part 2A and TANS Grant Part 2B).
