If we stick to the total lack of tourist accommodation, this long weekend will be a big one. According to Orange 360 ââCEO Caddy Marshall, everything has been booked at least three weeks in advance. “We know there is no longer a bed in town. Everything is gone. There is nothing left,” she said. “And it continues all along [to] School holidays – [with intermediary dates] It was around the same time last year that Orange saw the first major boom in landlocked tourists to venture into the New South Wales region as restrictions eased across the state but that the borders remained closed. This long weekend from June to 2020 saw “incredible visits” to Orange, Ms Marshall said – and marked a pivotal moment when the city became a “must-see destination” for many. In response to the tourism boom of 2020 – which collectively injected around $ 100 million into the local economy – more accommodation options have been added to the Orange Market. However, these also appear to have been seized some time before this weekend. We had more online accommodation. We have opened more Airbnbs. We also opened the Remington Hotel with their 75 rooms, âMs. Marshall said. âSo we increased our capacity and we filled it. With such a rush expected to hit the region this long weekend, Orange 360 ââreminds visitors that it’s not just accommodation that needs to be booked in advance. Reservations should always be made in cellars, as well as in restaurants to avoid disappointment.
