Fed: Holiday at home, says acting PM

Acting Prime Minister JULIA GILLARD is urging Australians to holiday at home in 2009
to fill the void left by a lack of overseas tourists.

A report released today predicts the value of inbound tourism to drop by four per cent
or 500 million dollars in 2009.

Ms GILLARD says the time is right for Australians to holiday at home adding Australia
has world-class tourist attractions.
