Abstract: Abstract International students make a vibrant contribution to Australian universities and the tourism industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic international students were placed under additional stress (as was the world) to manage study and life. For those students who came to Australia with an intention to travel, they had those tourist aspirations halted as the country closed its borders and shared in global efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19. This chapter presents research, undertaken prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, about international student wellbeing. Findings highlight the significant impact the pandemic had on international students’ living and study experiences, and particularly limitations to their travel aspirations which are an important factor in deciding to study in another country.
