Recovery in visitation has been strong across the NT. The Top End overall experienced visitation recovery during 2022-23, with Greater Darwin and Katherine Daly recording increases in visitation and Kakadu Arnhem showing a minor decline. Central Australia also experienced growth in overall visitor numbers, including increases in visitation for the Barkly, Alice Springs MacDonnell and Lasseter regions. While the return in aviation capacity has been slow and some key aviation routes have been operating at lower capacity, this has gradually improved and will continue following the introduction of the Territory Aviation Attraction Scheme (TAAS) to boost additional aviation capacity into the NT. Additionally, there were 8.3% more self-drive tourists visiting the NT in 2022-23 compared to the previous year.
