Voyages CEO Grant Hunt told WILLIAMS MEDIA it was the "perfect time" for Australians to get out and explore our amazing landscapes including the vast central desert, Uluru and Kata-Tjuta.
"With the opening of the Uluru Kata-Tjuta National Park in June and the subsequent re-opening of the NT borders on July 17, we are looking forward to welcoming visitors back to a new look Ayers Rock Resort from the beginning of August," he said.
"The extensive renovations to the accommodation, public areas and the airport provided welcome construction jobs for local Territorians during our recent closure due to Covid-19 and we believe will be a huge drawcard for holidaymakers wanting to re-connect with the spiritual heart of Australia at Uluru.”
