This is a 56% increase on 2022, or an additional 1-million visitors. \nThe national park is home to Table Mountain and is a Unesco-designated World Heritage site. It had 3.16-million visitors in 2019, close to its record of 3.46-million set in 2017.\nAlso on the rise are visitors to the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway. Numbers shot up 44% last year to close to 1-million tourists, according to Wesgro, the tourism, trade and investment promotion agency for Cape Town and the Western Cape. The last time visitors to the cableway were over 1-million was in 2019.\nThis post-pandemic recovery is mirrored elsewhere, with tourist traffic to the rest of the Western Cape growing by more than a third to 7.7-million. Wesgro\u2019s research shows the domestic market is helping to boost numbers.","name":"tablemountain-visitors","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":87908,"date":"2024-06-26 09:15:14","modified":"2024-07-01 14:44:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1080,"height":1080,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/TableMountain-Visitors-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/TableMountain-Visitors-300x300.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/TableMountain-Visitors-768x768.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/TableMountain-Visitors-1024x1024.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/TableMountain-Visitors.png","1536x1536-width":1080,"1536x1536-height":1080,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/TableMountain-Visitors.png","2048x2048-width":1080,"2048x2048-height":1080}},"flourish_chart_id":"","flourish_sub_title":"","flourish_chart_width":"medium","is_newsletter_post":"No","post_style":"ch","show_on_front":"Yes","link_through":"Yes","chart_url":"","background_colour":"#0089AA","text_colour":"#FFFFFF"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87908"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88070,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87908\/revisions\/88070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87908"},{"taxonomy":"newsletter-post","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter-post?post=87908"},{"taxonomy":"site","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/site?post=87908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
