More like extra paperwork for a group entry - which is going to cut down travel significantly.
My husband`s company went to Cairns 6 years ago. They had been doing a 5 year cycle for Australia. I believe 11 years ago they went somewhere else (I want to say Darwin, but I am not 100% sure). Last year they were planning for Melbourne, but the trip was scrapped due to too much time required for paperwork - 8 months wasn`t enough, it seems.
When we were in Cairns, we rented a car and escaped the tourist trap and ended up driving down the coast. Not a big fan of tourist spots, and with me along there wasn`t too much worry about getting lost and having no way to communicate.

It's got me stumped
I finished working for Customs a few months agao at Cairns airport.
I've been in the hospitality industry prviously for eleven years.
No changes as far as I know
We still have all the larger and succesful Japanese tour compnaies here and they would usually look after the paperwork for Japanese tour groups.
We were getting a lot more Chinese, although it has slowed a little due to their economy.
Can't work out for the life of me what this paperwork is..
