May 11, 20221462 Views

Australian flag carrier Qantas’ plans for a ‘wellbeing zone’ onboard its aircraft, which will give passengers a physical place to meditate, stretch and relax on long-haul flights, could be a gamechanger for full-service carriers looking to differentiate themselves from Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs) operating similar long-haul routes, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. GlobalData’s Q1 2021 Global Consumer Survey revealed that 57% of respondents said that a product or service that impacts their health and wellbeing either ‘always’ or ‘often’ influences their purchase, highlighting strong demand for health and wellness offerings.

Fast-moving flood waters burst river banks and broke over levees, inundate towns Heavy rains deluged Australia's east coast on Wednesday, submerging entire towns, while thousands of people fled their homes for the second time within weeks after fast-moving flood waters burst river banks and broke over levees. Several towns in northern New South Wales, already reeling after record floods over a month ago, were pounded by an intense low-pressure system overnight.

Waters off Australia face more frequent and severe marine heatwaves that threaten the Great Barrier Reef, a report said on Monday, as a United Nations team began a visit to evaluate whether the World Heritage site should be listed as "in danger". The reef is at risk of another mass bleaching, following three in the past six years, as sea surface temperatures off the northeast coast of Australia have soared to as much as 2-4 degrees Celsius above average, Australian environmental group Climate Council said in the report.

Australia on Tuesday said it would lift its entry ban for international cruise ships next month, effectively ending all major COVID-related travel bans after two years and boosting a tourism industry hit hard by the pandemic restrictions. Australia banned the entry of cruise ships in March 2020, when they were the source of about 20% of Australia's early coronavirus infections. The vessels became a flashpoint in its pandemic response after symptomatic passengers were allowed to disembark in Sydney, many of whom later tested positive.
