Tour Operator Permit System
The Tour Operator Permit system for NT managed Parks and Reserves was developed through full consultation with Park Management and the tourism industry.
By permitting tour operators we can ensure that natural and cultural values and management guidelines are maintained, visitor sites and their carrying capacities are managed and that visitor safety standards and industry requirements to access attractions, and exclusive sites, are met. Improved visitor monitoring data will also support appropriate planning and budgeting for site amenities and improvements.
Permit Fees:
- 2008 - $100
- 2009 - $100 four or less visits; $300 five or more visits.
