Newly created team to support tourism within WA's national parks

A new tourism-focused division within the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) has been created.
WA's national parks are home to about 500 tourism businesses, with DBCA managing award-winning attractions like the Kalbarri Skywalk and the Tree Top Walk, as well as UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Ningaloo Coast and Shark Bay. To further support tourism within WA's conservation estate, DBCA's new nature-based tourism division will be charged with driving new commercial tourism projects in national parks. 
It will also support the Department's industry relationship management, tourism operator licensing, and new tourism opportunity development. 
To support the division, DBCA will also establish a Nature-based Tourism Industry Reference Group, with representatives from Tourism Council WA, tourism operators and the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI).
