Travel enriches us. It surprises, inspires and grounds us. It also has the opportunity to enrich the communities and conserve the places we visit, as we learn to travel more sustainably and responsibly.
With two UNESCO World Heritage-listed national parks, abundant and diverse wildlife, fascinating rock art sites, awe-inspiring landscapes and a unique range of Aboriginal tourism experiences, the NT invites you to feel good as you travel our ancient lands by caring for our environment and supporting our communities.
Our eco-conscious accommodation, social enterprise attractions and sustainable tour operators offer travel experiences that tread lightly on the planet, while supporting economic resilience, cultural sustainability and prosperity among local communities.
Traditional Owners sustainably managed their land for tens of thousands of years and many Aboriginal Territorians operate tours and offer accommodation options, inviting you to visit their Country and connect with their land and culture.
Sustainable tours & experiences
Many tourism operators across the Territory support green travel and culturally responsible experiences, promoting intercultural education and economic growth in local communities. From the Top End to the Red Centre, tread lightly with these third-party accredited, sustainable and eco-conscious tours and authentic cultural experiences.
Eco-friendly accommodation
Be a care-taker of our community and environment by choosing from one of the Northern Territory’s wide range of eco-friendly or Aboriginal owned accommodations, where nature and culture are the star attractions. Choose from urban hotels and serviced apartments with stringent environmental and socio-cultural commitments to off-grid luxury nature lodges, sustainable desert dwellings and eco-beach retreats.
Feel good food & drink
The Territory’s dining scene is on a journey towards a greener and cleaner future. Focused on Indigenous ingredients, locally sourced products, zero waste policies and seasonal menus, Territory restaurants, bars and cafes invite you to indulge in delectable dishes and refreshing beverages while feeling green and great amidst the region's breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality.
Responsible travel in nature
As a traveller, you can be part of a global movement to reshape the way we travel, supporting a new kind of tourism that leaves the places we visit better than they were before. Think about how you can adopt more eco-friendly, culturally responsible and socially-conscious practices as you explore the natural and cultural wonders of the NT where respect, preservation and conservation are the top priorities.
