NBT CAPABILITY PROGRAM
TiCSA is delivering a support program for businesses interested in developing nature-based tourism (NBT) experiences. South Australia’s nature-based tourism sector is established and progressive. However, it has significant potential to grow and become an even more significant contributor to regional communities, employment and the economy.
This NBT Capability program is being funded by the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and may be particularly relevant to businesses interested in applying for the NBT Co-Investment Fund.
