Inspiring growth and connection: February 2025 brings major tourism events to the Northern Territory
- 27 November 2024
February 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for the Northern Territory's tourism sector, with two major events that promise to inspire and inform. The return of the Tourism Towards 2030 Conference and the Northern Territory Aboriginal Tourism Forum will provide invaluable opportunities for networking, skill-building, and fostering meaningful collaborations.
The Tourism Towards 2030 Conference, scheduled for Alice Springs on Tuesday, 25 February, and Darwin on Thursday, 27 February, offers a comprehensive, full-day program designed to inspire and equip local tourism businesses. This year’s conference will focus on providing practical, actionable skills that address the critical needs of the industry today. With a speaker lineup full of industry experts, attendees will be exposed to a wealth of knowledge aimed at helping businesses thrive and grow in the face of evolving tourism trends.
On Wednesday, 26 February, Darwin will also host the Northern Territory Aboriginal Tourism Forum, a unique event guided by the Northern Territory Aboriginal Tourism Committee. The forum will create a space for Aboriginal entrepreneurs, private sector leaders, government bodies, and non-government organisations to collaborate, exchange ideas, and share experiences. The event highlights the importance of the Aboriginal tourism sector, offering an opportunity to celebrate its contributions while exploring ways to support its future growth.
Guided by the Northern Territory Aboriginal Tourism Strategy 2020-2030, the forum seeks to inspire visitors to connect with one of the world’s oldest cultures through immersive, sustainable tourism experiences. The strategy’s mission is clear: to ensure Aboriginal people in the NT benefit economically, socially, and culturally from their participation in the tourism industry.
These events are set to be key milestones in the continued development of the Territory’s tourism sector, offering new insights and fostering relationships that will help shape the future of the industry. For more information and to register, visit tourismnt.com.au/industry-events.
