Special tourism permissions

Abstract

Refer Policy on Managing Tourism Permissions to Operate in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (http://hdl.handle.net/11017/588). Some Marine Parks tourism permits are ‘special tourism permissions’ because they allow you to conduct a tourism activity that has been capped or limited (refer box below). If you hold one of these permits, there are some important management arrangements that you should be aware of. These have been introduced at the request of the tourism industry to provide more certainty to tourism operators and to discourage hoarding and speculation on special tourism permissions.
