It is eerily quiet on the viewing platform at Scenic World, one of Australia’s most popular tourist attractions nestled high up in the Blue Mountains. Normally, tourists would be excitedly chatting away in multiple languages as they wait to board cable cars that glide over the Jamison Valley, taking in breathtaking views of sandstone rock formations and temperate rainforest. But since social distancing rules were introduced on March 23 the family business has closed and been forced to furlough 180 employees.
風景世界(Scenic World)觀景臺異常安靜,這里是是澳大利亞最受歡迎的旅游景點之一,坐落在藍山(Blue Mountains)高處。通常游客們會在此興奮地用各種語言聊著天,等著乘上纜車,滑過賈米森峽谷(Jamison Valley)上空,欣賞壯麗的砂巖巖層和溫帶雨林。但自社交距離規(guī)定3月23日推行以來,運營該景點的家族企業(yè)已經(jīng)關(guān)閉,并被迫讓180名員工強制休假。
