Sydney’s CBD visitor numbers at 90% of average 2019 levels: QMS
New data released today by outdoor media company QMS has revealed a strong recovery in the number of people visiting and working in Sydney’s CBD, reaching the highest level since 2019.
New data from QMS’ Q-Data audience and insights platform shows throughout April and May, visitor numbers across Sydney’s CBD were 90% of average 2019 levels, despite the impacts experienced this year from COVID-19 and extreme weather events.
QMS general manager, City of Sydney, Jemma Enright, said: “After two difficult and unpredictable years, it is fantastic to see people returning to the city to work and play.
“Our data shows that 90% of the 2019 Sydney CBD audience has returned, resuming their normal behaviours and activities, including a strong return to workplaces. That figure will keep on growing, as companies continue to collaborate with employees on return to office experiences and the City of Sydney continues its investment in hallmark events and marketing activities that draw people back into the city.
