Australians who wish to travel abroad in the near future may have more options than just travel to New Zealand.

New Zealand Prime Minister Adrian (Jacinda Ardern) joined the Australian National Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and held consultations with Morrison (Scott Morrison) on the construction of a "travel circle (Travel Bubble)" between Australia and New Zealand citizen.

Mr. Bauer (Neville Power), chairman of Australia`s New Crown Epidemic Coordination Committee (National Coronavirus Coordination Commission), has proposed that he intends to expand the "travel circle" to include parts of Asia.

`China, Japan and South Korea are all in their consideration ,` Mr. Bauer told the Western Australian newspaper. "I believe there is an opportunity to consider specific destinations and specific exit and entry policy tests so that critical activities and important travel activities can be carried out at an early date. "

"Our trade ties with Japan, South Korea and China are crucial, so there may be an opportunity to restart (our ties). "Our resource areas are heavily dependent on these Asian markets and may require travel ," he said. "

Although Indonesia is a popular tourist destination for many Australians, it faces "special challenges" that are not yet considered by Mr Bauer.

Morrison set up the national new crown epidemic coordination committee in late March and appointed Bauer as the head.

Bauer is now leading recovery efforts in Australia. The Committee`s main responsibilities are "to mitigate the impact of the New Crown virus on our businesses, communities and people" and "to try to keep Australians working during and after the pandemic ".
