Blue Mountains welcomes domestic tourism

Attractions at the Blue Mountains have opened their doors to tourists again as New South Wales eases COVID-19 restrictions. Tourist attraction Scenic World, which boasts a cableway, skyway and railway through the mountains, is set to reopen on Friday, June 26 after weeks of lockdowns. The economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic was significantly felt in the Blue Mountains as it relied on domestic and international tourism, with about four million people visiting the region every year. NSW residents were encouraged to holiday at the Blue Mountains in a bid to stimulate the $400 million tourism-driven economy and assist with post-pandemic recovery. Image: News Corp Australia
