The growing number of visitors to (Cradle Mountain), the lullaby mountain of Tasmania, prompted local tour party owners to call on government to limit the number of visitors, but Governor Will Hodgman opposed it, saying it would hurt local tourism.
Last year, a total of 1.26 million local and international tourists went to Tazhou, and the number of tourists visiting Luck Hill increased from two hundred thousand in 2014 to two hundred and fifty thousand. As a result, the Park and Wildlife Services Bureau banned private cars from entering the pigeon lake (Dove Lake) area during the peak season. Relieve road jam and improve safety.
Howard Smith, owner of Cradle Mountain Travel Service, fears that Taju could lose its unique identity. "We need to limit the number of visitors to iconic locations, including Cradle Hill and Peninsula (Freycinet)."
His colleague, Anthony O'Hern, agrees: "We do have a problem. Suddenly, buses full of tourists come and 3000 people compete for six toilets a day. I think we should consider setting a ceiling. "
The state and federal government pledged $86 million to rebuild the Luck Hill facilities, including the construction of new viewing platforms, a supporting facilities building, bus stops, and car parks near Pigeon Lake and Glacier Rock.
The governor said limiting the number of tourists would hurt the state. "if we send a message to the world that we don't want to receive any more tourists, it will destroy Tasmanian businesses and drain jobs, and we want tourism growth to continue."
