Cable car does not eliminate the opportunity for people to hike: PM Skerrit 

While talking about the importance of the project, PM Skerrit outlined the concerns that have been raised over the local tour guides, as they will lose jobs or their earnings. While addressing this issue, he stated that the result would be contrary as the tour guides will still be able to do their jobs on the ropeway and will continue with their traditional practice of assisting visitors as it is the main part.  

“Having a cable car does not eliminate the opportunity for people to hike,” the Prime Minister stated.
