Oh well I posted this on Tuesday and get my answer on Thursday, that isn't bad.:D

From the article:

Tourists are abandoning regional Victoria and NSW in droves, with cancellation rates of more than 60 per cent even in towns outside the bushfire zones causing economic damage of up to $1 billion.


The vast majority of cancellations come from Australians choosing to stay home, leaving industry experts to call for new campaigns urging people to get back out and spend money on their holidays.

Reports to the Australian Tourism Industry Council reveal cancelled bookings in some areas unaffected by the bushfires have hit more than 60 per cent.

In areas directly hit by bushfires, cancellations in some areas have hit almost 100 per cent.


I guess that is the down side of thrashing a story to death.
