In business involving sightseeing, particularly from the top of local mountains near populated cities, with no roads to the top, and for sightseers who don't have the energy, strength or skills to hike to the top, chairlifts would be feasible. Not just because visitors could easily get to the top, but also if visitors could get off the chairlifts at the top, enjoy the view for as long as they want, until the closing hour. Benches, concrete hiking trails, fountains, tower viewer binoculars for close-up views of the city, monkey bars & swing sets safety far from the downhill. And a snack bar (chips & drinks) at the bottom so that visitors could even have a picnic at the top, amirite?
