Tourism as a key economic driver for the Northern Territory

Details

Publication TypeResearch BriefAbstractA noteworthy number of researchers from the Northern Institute have undertaken research on aspects of tourism and hospitality in Northern Australia and contributed to that sector’s capacity and expertise in the Northern Territory, across all of its regions. The assessment of current and future challenges found in this brief represents the views of Tremblay and Boyle, but reflects some of that research spanning two decades, as well as recent findings arising from stakeholder interviews associated with current research projects examining aspects of Indigenous readiness, economic participation and workforce shortages in general. The assessment expressed in this brief also benefited from involvement in the tourism session of the economic summit, participation in the tourism panel at the 7th Annual NT Major Projects Conference, and from conversations with Professor Bruce Prideaux of Central Queensland University.AuthorTremblay, P.Boyle, A.
