Parks Eco Pass program for commercial tour operators – NSW
Parks Eco Pass is the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service program for licensing operators who conduct commercial tours and recreational and educational activities in parks.
The program starts on 1 July 2021 and will provide added benefits for nature-based tour operators. The program will support operators to work with NPWS to offer exceptional visitor experiences across NSW national parks. Key benefits of the program include:
- a licence package that provides value for money for commercial tour operators, including greater promotional support through NPWS marketing channels
- a new licence fee structure and discounts
- the waiving of annual licence fees for Aboriginal businesses for the first 2 years to encourage and support new businesses to operate on Country
- new online resources to make it simpler and faster for operators to start working with NPWS to provide nature-based visitor experiences
- new measures to maintain high-quality visitor experiences compatible with natural and cultural environments
- a new complimentary Aboriginal cultural awareness training module to help operators develop and deliver tours in a culturally sensitive way.
Nature-based tourism is a major contributor to the NSW visitor economy. Commercial operators play an invaluable role, in partnership with NPWS, in promoting our parks and encouraging visitors to appreciate, understand and enjoy NSW national parks.
