Australia’s Northern Territory Government is set to introduce a fee for tourists who wants to visit several photogenic locations.
The new Park Passes will be introduced from April 2023 for both domestic and international visitors, with tourists able to purchase day-long, week-long, and “open” options for specific national parks in the region.
The list applies to 50 national parks out of 85 in the Northern Territory, including: Adelaide River Foreshore Conservation Area, Illamurta Springs Conservation Reserve, Mary River National Park and Watarrka National Park.
The parks which will require a pass for entry feature several springs and waterfalls that are much-photographed and posted on social media. These scenic areas are regularly seen on Instagram feeds as swimming spots and picturesque tourist destinations.
