## Resource

Queensland tour operators face potential business shutdown due to new proposed laws banning individuals under sixteen from using e-bikes and other electric-powered devices. The legislation requires a drivers license, which many international tourists, especially those under sixteen, wont have. The Queensland Tourism Industry Council estimates that over eight percent of the tourism sector could be impacted. A proposed ten kilometer per hour speed limit on footpaths is also a concern. The government is currently reviewing the committees recommendations, but the uncertainty is already affecting bookings. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
