Otago Rail Trail Set To Explode
Numbers on the Otago Rail Trail are expected to increase as long haul holidays for New Zealanders and Australians become less affordable due to the global credit crunch and higher taxes on fuel emissions.
Figures mooted suggest that the popularity of the Otago Rail Trail could rise by up to 30% on previous years with some operators expecting a mini boom along the trail.
Sectors set to benefit from this increase are mainly from the hospitality industry but is it widely acknowledged that any extra monies bought into the region do go a long way to helping all other sectors in the community and this news is being enthusiastically welcomed by locals.
