The Northern Territory's tourism minister says "all Australians have a social responsibility" to visit the NT, as new figures reveal visitation is struggling at the territory's famed landmark of Uluru.
I'm sorry but if you have to guilt people into tourism then you've missed the mark.
As is the case with Australia more broadly, tourism is obscenely expensive here for the average worker and unsurprisingly it's better value for money to fly somewhere else (i.e. south East Asia).
Yeah idk if they had subsidized travel maybe more people would go... but it's bloody expensive getting around Australia..
