In New Zealand we welcomed tourists, the more the merrier. They brought with them giardia. It was traced to hitch hikers refill their bottles from the streams. There was a time that I would drink directly from a stream or river. No longer.
I have been out to Uluru here in Australia. I was lucky enough to have my late boss fly me there. We didn't land but we did fly at an unauthorised height. A spectacular place.
I had and have never had any desire to climb it I did however walk Kings Canyon which was equally as beautiful as Uluru. I think the 3-4 hours it takes to walk puts many off
Bring on the crowds! Thousands of Chinese and Indian tourist likes to travel away from their over crowded countries to crowd somewhere else! Covid might have stemmed the tide a bit, but not for much longer.
