Scientists are studying the effects of climate change on tourism in Darwin and Kakadu National Park.
The Commonwealth Government funded study will predict the impacts of climate change on vulnerable tourism destinations in Australia. The Sustainable Tourism Co-operative Research Centre will focus on five destinations, including the Great Barrier Reef, the Victorian Alps, the Barossa region and the Blue Mountains.
Kakadu National Park, including Darwin, has been included because of its role as a "gateway community''. The report will be completed by mid-December.
