Tourists urged not avoid Sydney during APEC
An AAP report says that Australia’s peak accommodation body is pleading with tourists not to avoid Sydney while world leaders visit for next month’s APEC summit.
Contrary to initial forecasts, the city’s hotels will not be booked out during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings and the industry is hoping to avoid a period of low income.
“There is a growing perception that visitors from interstate or overseas should avoid Sydney when APEC is on,” Australian Hotels Association Manager Hamish Arthur said.
“It’s important to inform people that hosting APEC does not mean that Sydney will become a tumbleweed city.”
Mr Arthur said security arrangements during APEC would not affect many tourist activities.
“Tourists will still be able to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge and ride a ferry to Manly,” he said.
