The NT Experience Fund supports the growth and diversification of the Territory’s tourism offerings to meet visitor needs and create connected itineraries that showcase people, stories and landscapes.
Tourism and hospitality businesses can apply for funding to deliver new products or experiences aligned to the Territory’s value proposition, with priority given to offerings related to:
- Adventure tourism
- Business event delegate experiences
- Cruise tourism
- Cultural tourism
- Dark skies experiences
- Domestic education tourism
- Fishing
- Food and drink
- Major event attendee experiences
- Military tourism
