Tourism crisis meeting

By ERWIN CHLANDA

The region’s main industry, tourism, is holding a meeting today at the time of extreme crisis both in staffing and guest numbers.

Tourism Central Australia is holding its AGM at the dinosaur museum in Todd Mall between 5pm and 8pm.

President Patrick Bedford is expected to re-nominate.

The 400 member organisation proposed a string of initiatives two years ago including a  “range height adventure” centre offering a skywalk, cable car, walking and bike trails, the longest zip line in the world, paragliding, bungee jumping plus a restaurant and bar.

The pandemic has hindered most of the proposals.
