Uluru tourism getting back to the pre-pandemic levels

Flying over the regal rocks like, Kata Tjuta, Uluru and Kings Canyon in Australia, is an experience that never gets old for pilot Liam Sharp.

In the Northern Territory’s Red Centre, the peak tourism season is about to start, Liam is in this trip for many days now. 

After many years of disappointing visitation due to the restrictions in travel because of COVID, guests are increasing in these iconic rocks once again and at the cultural heart of Australia at the same time.

Sharp said that at the present scenario, it has started to get very busy, and with time, it’s only going to get busier. Tourism comprised 4.2 per cent of the NT economy before the pandemic hit the world, with $2.6 billion every year flowing through tourism operators and hotel businesses.

Over three years on, the tourism industry is still in revival mode at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. However, as per Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia, there are positive signs that the sector will return to its previous glory anyhow. Matthew Cameron-Smith, Chief executive, who manages the Ayers Rock Resort in Yulara, says that the domestic visitors are helping the sector to drive this upward trend in demand.

He also said that last week, their bookings increased 7 per cent on the week before and that has increased about 24 per cent on the year before.
