Tourism 161 Northern Territory Economy Tourism Tourism is an important contributor to the Northern Territory economy, creating demand for goods and services and generating employment in a range of industries including hospitality, transport and retail trade. In 2012, the total number of visitors to the Territory increased by 5.2percent, from a low base, driven by increased domestic visitor numbers, which offset a decline in international visitors. Growth in domestic visitors was, however, concentrated in the TopEnd, with visitor numbers up by 12.9percent compared with a 4.6percent decline in visitor numbers in Central Australia. The continued strength of the Australian dollar as well as subdued economic and labour market conditions in key source countries is expected to continue to dampen international visitor numbers to the Territory in the short to medium term. Domestic visitation is expected to strengthen, supported by growth in business visitors associated with major projects.
