North-West tourism advocates are calling for airline seats reserved exclusively for tourists ahead of an infrastructure boom.

North-West tourism advocates are calling for regional airlines to reserve seats exclusively for tourists ahead of an expected infrastructure boom in the region.

The advocates fear that an influx of project workers arriving for the infrastructure development will consume airline capacity, leaving fewer seats available for visitors. They argue that protecting tourist access to flights is essential during this period of regional construction activity.

The proposal reflects concerns that competing demand for limited airline seats from workers and tourists could harm the region's tourism sector at a time when visitor numbers may be particularly valuable to local economies.
