Purpose
Longer licences, extended fee waivers and new branding and marketing for licenced tour operators are key features of a new partnership arrangement between Tourism Council WA and the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions.
The State Government will extend licences from a maximum of 10 years to 20 years for tourism operators.
To qualify for a licence of 1 year or more, tourism operators will need to be Sustainable Tourism Accredited, publish an Accessible Information Guide and assess their emissions.

- Extended licences to 10 or 20 years
- No upfront annual licence fees for up to 20 years
- Sustainability, accessible information guide and emissions assessment standards for all licence holders
- Joint brand and promotion of licenced tour operators
