The businesses and organizations owned by Northern Territory Aboriginal with an aim to develop Aboriginal cultural tourism experiences and products can send an application for financing, between $30,000 and $100,000.
The funding might be utilized to improve or build up new infrastructure or set up new products like on country housing or cultural evening experiences.
Regarding the Northern Territory Aboriginal Tourism Strategy 2020-2030, the grants are an important feature with a target to expand a sustainable Aboriginal tourism industry.
This grant program will help the focus of the Strategy to build up quality experiences, services and products.
At present, applications are opened and close on 2nd June 2023.
