Tourist Accommodation and Resorts Tourism

---

New accommodation has recently come on to the market, including the Darwin Airport Resort, expansion of the Cavenagh and Ashton Lodge, and new luxury apartments at Marina View.

But even with these additions, Darwin cannot provide enough hotel rooms, backpacker beds and caravan and camp sites to meet the huge demand. The opening of the Darwin Convention Centre in 2008 will put further pressure on the market.

Visitors to Darwin demand the full range of accommodation, from tent sites through to tropical resorts to five-star hotels. In the city centre itself, the demand is critical.

A particular need has been identified for waterfront resort style top-level hotel accommodation. The low-rise resort proposed for the SkyCity Casino site should go some way to meeting this need
