- The head of the Alice Springs tourism industry is calling on Australians to visit the town, saying there's been a noticeable improvement in law-and-order issues.
Tourism Central Australia chief executive officer Danial Rochford was speaking at the launch of a new airline route between Alice Springs and Cairns when he discussed the "notable difference" being seen in the town.
Sky News Northern Australia Correspondent Matt Cunningham said the situation is “improving” after “strong” law and order measures were implemented in Alice Springs.
“There’s a noticeable difference between two years ago when we saw the height of the problems … and the situation now," Mr Cunningham said.
No one in their right mind would visit Alice right now!!??
My thoughts exactly.
Can tourists climb Ayers Rock?
If not, this is a gross abuse of indigenous "rights"! As a FREE tourist attraction that has been available for decades, this situation is in drastic need of reversal...
You can smoke certain rocks.
No, but you can look at it for 40 bucks.
Glad I climbed Ayers Rock back in 1980👍🏽🥃
Aboriginals have disregarded what Paddy Uluru said about climbing the rock.
It's all bullshit
How about you just respect the landmark? I don’t want trash and graffiti on Ayers rock, why do you want that?
Sorry I will never be a tourist in Australia again because of the government's immigration policies
Not a chance - I value my life
What a stupid comment. We where. There last year with out any issues. Infact there was a lot of tourist there. Just you ignorant people who would say that comment
@@Kelly-j1i Good for you. Let's keep it as it is, that way you can enjoy your visits without too many other tourists.
@@FartyEppelstein what stupid and low life comment
@@Kelly-j1i Oh okay, sorry to trigger you. Let's make going there mandatory then. Will that make you happy?
“We” went ? Not “I was there ?” Botty sounding comment
Why , its to unsafe and bail is cheaper
I was gunna go but pulled out and went to Gaza instead
😅😅
I heard Haiti is wonderful this time of year
We visited Alice Springs a few years ago & there was an uncomfortable heaviness. We were glad but sad to leave. We enjoyed site seeing in the surrounding areas but had no desire to spend more time than we had to in Alice Springs. 🙏🏼
I'll visit the day after the re-introduction of capital punishment.
Yeh nah...
Only if we don't mention welcome too country
Heck no! Why would you do that to yourself and/or your family!
Nope … the crime rate is crazy and it is DANGEROUS
@ not sure why you would make that comparison. The crime rate in Alice Springs is astronomically higher than any where in australia
Off you go yes voters! You wouldn't have a problem going there, would you? 😊
Not even Albo is dumb enough to do a FIFO there.
Albo did visit there. Two hours in an office.And Burney did an office visit. Didn't want to get her Chanel dress dusty
We have been to the NT and have no intention of ever returning, unless there is a huge change.
It does not feel safe nor welcoming.
A sense of tension and an attitude of "give us your money and p*ss off".
Western Australia was the same.
In particular, the Coral Bay caravan park and servo.
We were looking for fresh water and were told we get nothing unless we stay.
I didn't even fuel up there.
We we told "it defeats the purpose of us being here to give you water".
Fuck the sand gropers, I don't plan on going back any time soon.
That was back in 2000.
I haven't been back.
Hahaha, who wants to visit a warzone?
Haha .. even the PM hides when he’s in Alice springs
They could offer free flights in first class but I still wouldn't go there.
Only if I can climb the rock
Snowflake
Poor behaviour puts me right off.
What a shame NT has turned into a no go zone for many people. The pollies can talk it up all they want but who would want to go there now? Even Albo couldnt wait to leave there.
The Alice Springs tourism industry died when they stopped tourists walking on Ayers Rock.
Until the troublesome ‘element’ are all locked up then I’ll pass, thanks.
Alice Springs is as popular a holiday destination as is the Ukraine/Russia border.
Alice Springs tourism, is a Oxymoron
Hahaha, no frigin way.
Not until it's safe 😮
have they tried locking up the criminals first?
When they're doing the safety warnings on the plane they should talk about how to keep safe in Alice Springs
First you scare them away with "law and order issues" with youth crime propaganda. And now you're trying to entice tourists back based purely on "law and order issues"???
ROFLMAO
Fail.
;)
It’s not propaganda. It is the truth. Plenty of videos. Suggest you look at them with more than your infantile, tribal left-wing chanting.
@@Want0nS0up Oh, you mean that drone footage of the city taken in the middle of the day in the middle of summer in a city located in the middle of the desert under the headline "Alice springs residents too scared to to leave their homes"???
For all we know that footage was taken in the middle of the COVID lockdowns.
How's that for "chanting"?
;)
@@trickyboy1517 Err, no actually. How about the videos of the riots and kids running delinquent in the streets? They looked pretty real to me. Are you trying to tell us that they were fake? Photoshop perhaps?
@@Want0nS0up ROFL. You mention footage of riots not in Alice Springs and then you mention "Photoshop". Learn the difference between "footage" and "stills".
;)
@@trickyboy1517 that was more a comment to guess your next piece of absurdity. You little clever fellows know a lot about AI and I am sure that you would be able to come up with some absurdity. I bet you have never been to Alice Springs in your life. You probably haven’t gone outside mummy’s basement.
Make sure that you've got your travel insurance
No thanks!
Fix the crime first eh?
That thumbnail is gorgeous. Clearly Alice Springs is very pretty.
Oh rubbish. Absolute rubbish, wait until Dutton gets is and Alice gets sorted
its called the purge tour
Much safer in the Philippines or the rest of south east Asia...... Go there instead.
Censor harder YT ... ya drongos
Baaaaahhahhha * draws breath* Ahhhhhaaahha
This is a joke right? Your not even allowed to speak the name Ayers Rock anymore, forget climbing it! Travel thousands of KM to see a taxpayer funded hellhole? Good luck !!!
Hhhhhhhaaahhhhaaa
Why the hell would I place my family in danger just to see a rock?
I wish the residents well, but right now? No way.
We dont hear about the majority of the seriously disgusting crime that happens there.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. PMSL. Don't go there.
Alice Springs, the capital of the albanese archipelago ,albo the pinko,the salt must flow
Got a smoke bloke ,
