Tourism Business Information Kit
The Tourism industry plays a crucial role in the Northern Territory economy, contributing high levels of both Gross State Product (4.5% in 2004-05) and employment (around 8000 people were directly employed in 2004-05 and many more jobs are dependent on tourism).
The Tourism industry is represented at all levels of government:
- Australian Level - Tourism Australia is the Australian Government statutory authority responsible for international and domestic tourism marketing as well as the delivery of research and forecasts for the sector.
- Territory Level - Tourism NT is the government agency responsible for guiding tourism development and promotion in the Northern Territory. It is part of the Department of Business and Employment.
- Regional Level - The four Regional Tourism Associations play a key role in coordinating the efforts of industry, local government and the community.
- Local Level - Local Tourism Bodies (Tourist Information Centres) and local government bodies are responsible for promoting their local area and driving or participating in local tourism development initiatives.
The Tourism Business Information Kit is designed to help you to establish and run a tourism business in the Northern Territory. It provides you with information about issues relevant to all businesses, and those specific to tourism businesses; with a checklist; fact sheets; and details on where to go for help.
Click the link below to begin, consider each topic and decide whether you require additional information. Each time you select Tell me more... additional information relevant to that topic will be displayed and you can choose to add fact sheets to your report for later consideration. A checklist included in your report will help you to address all the issues relevant to your business.
The Business Information Kits are provided by the Northern Territory Government in partnership with AusIndustry. Business Information Kits are available for a number of Northern Territory industries from http://www.nt.gov.au/dbe/business/resourcesf4a8.html.
