It's nothing to do with lack of flights, if there was demand, there would be plenty of flights.
They killed it. The national park saw a massive spike in visitors prior to the closure of the Uluru climb, Parks Australia documents show, with 406,821 tourists travelling to the region in 2019. Now, operators say the remote region is struggling to claw back to its pre-pandemic visitor numbers. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-08/nt-uluru-visitor-numbers-slump-post-covid/102947432 |

It's laughable that so many non-Aboriginals seem to think that Uluru is the Vatican of Aboriginalia.

Many years ago I worked with an Abo guy, absolutely lovely bloke, went to Ayer Rock as he felt compelled to go being a Sydney urban Abo. He hated it, and got mugged in Alice Springs and the young blokes who mugged him called him a greasy wog. He really did look more Greek than Abo. |

The Abbos wrecked Ayers Rock -
no one can climb it now - except for them - and they are too lazy to climb it - they ruin everything. Stuff them - vote NO. |

You know, this “take over” of Ayer’s Rock and stopping anyone (mainly non indigenous I gathered) from climbing the rock, has made me take more notice of the power the indigenous obviously have and do use.
Just an example of creating division against the rest of Australians. I have felt disappointment and some bitterness for quite time some about this. In our travels now, finally finding some time to do this sort of stuff, it’s been taken from us to have that opportunity. I have no desire to go there so soon, as a result. And it’s any wonder the tourism is diminishing … I wonder why? If ownership claim is made that’s fine, but why not share a big rock that’s probably older than when dinosaurs walked the earth? This “ownership” takeover is becoming more evident where I’m living … new boards are put up near old township names with new indigenous names now. They are just springing up all over the place. It made me feel they already have a voice. Yet, in all our family history of over 100 years working on the dam constructions, and in the fields yielding fruit and vegetables for the markets, there’s only ever been 3 nationalities doing the back breaking work - Anglo aussies, Italians, and Dutch. Then at a later date as I worked in the packing sheds, along came the Vietnamese. They all came in one van, worked in the heat or rain together, and helped each other to settle into homes over the course of a few years. Never once had we seen an indigenous work in this area. Especially doing any of that back breaking work! This “Voice” vote has me stumped as it seems they are already being listened to and being allowed to rename places or shut down tourism areas to claim as their own… not sharing is selfish. I hear the “yes” vote will cause division. But I bet the “no” vote will cause division also. Nothing is clear about saying “yes” and it’s like signing a blank cheque. An adage I think I will take heed of is “When in doubt…. don’t” |

It's funny (not really) that in the linked ABC site,
absolutely no mention is made of the other likely possibility that tourism has steeply declined since the Aboriginals shut down non-indigenous climbing of Ayers Rock from October 2019. They failed to understand that (possibly?) 50% of the tourists—particularly from overseas—visited the Rock with the intention of climbing it. At any rate, Ayers Rock was in situ 550 million years ago, obviously long before the Aboriginals migrated here from south-eastern Asia. Ayers Rock or Uluru? I'm be happy to see the monolith named as Ayers Rock-Uluru, as it's important to also acknowledge the involvement of the white settlers in developing the country whose benefits the Aboriginals share and enjoy. |

I think its the air fare. A direct return flight from Melbourne to Alice Spring would cost $820 per person. More expensive than going to Japan. If you have a family of four, thats 4000 without even booking the accommodation.

Title: Re: Ayers Rock tourism is dead Post by freediver on Oct 9th, 2023 at 8:58am
This, and the Sydney opera house/bridge were probably our two most iconic tourist destinations. One has been sacrificed to pagan racism and sexism. That, above all, is probably what drives tourists away. Instead of a laid back, friendly egalitarian culture, they are reading online that they are banned because of the colour of their skin. It's hard to feel good about that. Now they will be reading about people being chased off our beaches because of racism.
Don't underestimate the broader ramifications to Australia's tourism industry. |

The Chinese are back everywhere, except Ayers Rock and Alice which is out of control with crime.
Posted Mon 25 Sep 2023 [b]Chinese tourism rebounds by 111pc due to 'pent up demand' The latest ABS data shows there has been a rebound in Chinese tourism. Veteran tour guide Benny Pan has been working around the clock since mid-year to service their return. "We are very busy every day," said the 55-year-old, who's been working in the tourism industry for two decades. "There are more Chinese tourists coming back than expected." Mr Pan said his company recently purchased six new buses to prepare for a busy season in the lead up to a national holiday in October and the 2024 Chinese New Year.[/b] https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-25/chinese-tourists-return-ads-group-travel-resume/102891772 Don't listen to Smith, AKA the mongoloid of Ozpol, here's a recent pic of him. |

Considering Australian Tourism Industry is a giant 'rip-off' like the American Health System.
Little wonder people give Australia a miss altogether. New Zealand offers 'more' for half the price, for starters. The Anglos and Saxons left Wales for the indigenous Britons. Can't you just give the Boongs at least Uluru? Get your grubby Tourism hands off it. Go make something of your own accord to attract Tourists. Stop sponging off the Boongs and their stuff.

You think maybe the idea that you cannot climb the rock, but have to admire the thing from the base, is something that you have to account for as the reason why tourists do not want to go visit. Whatever tourism destination you have in your area, you can claim the historical heritage to tourists. But, if tourists are not allowed to visit it, they won't go. |

I have to disagree that Ayers Rock somehow "belongs" to our Aboriginals, or it's "their" rock. It's been there for 550 million years, millennia before the Aborigines ever set foot in this continent. Ayers Rock "belongs" to each and every Australian. When we start creating laws and legislation based solely on race, then all is lost in any true democracy.

Aborigines and Moslems are much alike.
Both their cultures are 'Portals' to Africa. One from the Middle-East, another from Sahul (which is the region we are in). One walks around a Holy Stone in Mecca. Another is a Sacred Stone in Australia. But not all Aborigines wish to stay 'traditional'. Many now wish to be a part of and contribute to that sublimely emerging true culture that will represent this Region in it's purest sense although this Region, one of 8 (habitable) on this planet, will have 'Portals' in existence here to the other 7 Regions... like Queensland is for North America (and California is for Australia) and Victoria is for South America (and Chile is for Australia) and so on. So let Uluru be for the 'traditionalists' of the Aboriginal Portal. You yourselves just call it a 'rock'. Why chase after weaknesses, when you should be following strengths. |

If Palestinians stopped making attacks against the Israelis, there would be an end to hostilities. If the Israelis stopped attacking the Palestinians, there would be no more Israel.

Is this what you call the actions of a Nation?
A middle-aged man, called Kalejika, who belonged to a Central Aranda local group, paid a visit to Irbmangkara, and then told some Upper Southern Aranda men that Ltjabakuka, the aged and highly respected ceremonial chief of Irbmangkara, together with some of his assistant elders, had committed sacrilege by giving uninitiated boys men's blood to drink from a shield into which it had been poured for ritual purposes. He was told this - it may have or may not have been factual - but murder followed page 59 Then the warriors turned their murderous attention to the women and older children, and either speared or clubbed them to death. Finally, according to the grim custom of warriors and avengers, they broke the limbs of the infants, leaving them to die "natural deaths". The final number of the dead could well have reached the high figure of from eighty to a hundred men, women, and children. All because it was believed some blood was drunk by uninitiated boys So they murdered 100 people including babies |

Going by the histories of White peoples, especially in Europe.
The barbarism and savagery, to even children, has been far far worse than anything yet provided by Aborigines. The only crime the Aborigines have done upon themselves worse than other peoples - is their isolationism. ...how many people did a Roman kill? 100,000 people genocided, which in today's numbers would be like 10 million murdered and butchered. This is a white European act. Boris would love to see Aborigines exterminated from the planet. All of his problems would be gone. ...now about these White People with Nukes who want to butcher BILLIONS around the world with 'their' invention. |

Yet another example of the misleading bullshit you post here—with absolutely no current relevance. I can't really believe that you're stupid enough to cite something that happened 150 years ago as an even vague reflection of what our Aboriginal communities are like in 2023. This just shows your desperation to prove some distorted statistics that support your reprehensible racist claims. You're a vile, lying piece of work mate. >:( |

Tourism, is it? Been doing your research, eh? You stick to Dubbo, dear. Far closer than Alice, and you don't need a tin of petrol to get a Boong in the sack. Half a cask and a Rohypnol will do the trick - just make sure to bring a decent-sized sack. You don't want her escaping from the oval, Gordon, they can be tricky to catch. As you well know, no? Eenie meenie minie mo. |

Hard to say, FD. Far safer to have them swarming around the oval in Dubbo. Half a cask of goon and you're in for a crack. Check with Gordon for the latest ticket prices. He's got a group discount rate - most competitive. |

It is not misleading This is the "Culture" of the Aborigines. This is what they do - still now - payback for perceived spiritual misdeeds. It still happens now. It was believed Uninitiated boys drank sacred blood - so 100 people were murdered - and that led to more payback killings read it - it is what happened and it is what still happens now. But you being a total idiot who never lived in Alice Springs and never worked for the Health Department - you are just plain IGNORANT and STUPID |

My argument is that the Palestinians have a chip on their collective shoulders in regard to the Israelis. And from what I gather about the reports by Jews around the world (including one guy that was in the Australian army), the Palestinians (and many Middle Easterners) have a problem with Jewish people, simply because of the association with Israel. Israelis are not going about indiscriminately shooting Palestinians dead. That might well have changed in the last week, given that Israel is going to war with Hamas. But, the Israelis are not going about picking fights with the Palestinians simply because of their ethnicity. |
