Today the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry called for banks to support our Tourism Operators and families directly affected by the flurry of cancellations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tourism operators including Accommodation Holiday lets, Airbnb’s, Restaurants, Bars, Cafes are all reporting a rapid downturn in business which is then subsequently affecting all of the businesses and families providing goods and services to them.
The Tourism sector is one of the two business pillars of our town, making the downturn the equivalent of a Commercial Armageddon for small business and the families that rely on it.
On the 10th of March British Banks announced they were providing a 3 month Mortgage Holiday to customers affected by the pandemic.
As such the Noosa Chamber of Commerce calls on the Big 4 banks and Bendigo Bank to get on the front foot to help the Noosa businesses affected.
