Short stay demand in Katoomba
Katoomba's demand is driven by the Blue Mountains' status as one of Australia's great natural attractions. International tourists visiting the Three Sisters, domestic travellers on Sydney day trips extended to overnight stays, and guests attending the Katoomba Blue Mountains Winter Magic Festival (one of Australia's most popular winter festivals) all contribute to strong year-round demand. The cooler mountain climate actually drives demand in winter — a rare advantage for short stay operators.
