The article gives attention to a field which has received limited research
attention. This field is referred to as Australian indigenous art tourism. The scope of
this article covers the aspect of destination development. The writes aim at identifying
the invisible elements in tourism promotions. The study uses the case of Quinkan
(Laura Cooktown region) and Kakadu national park to outline the development of
indigenous rock art tourism. The contribution has informed the choice of the two
regions of inheritance of leadership aspect. The aboriginal people of these two regions
inherited legacies of top-down bureaucratic methods and decision making. The Laura
community are still challenged by achieving the aspirations for sustainable rock art
tourism. This is even though they transitioned a successful ranger program and a
community-based system. The joint management arrangement with world heritage
listed national parks and adopted by KNP communities led to competition in
perspectives and values of the dominating state system. The KNP introduced the
Balnggarrawarra tourism initiative briefly and was operated by Laura. Critical
components of sustainable indigenous tourism are incorporated into the model. The

elements include public education, partnerships, cultural preservation, conservation,
land care, jobs and traditional owner control. The caring for rock art serves as a
unifying theme despite the existence of contemporary realities and challenges.
The authors of the article note that on the global scale, the visitation to
Australian rock art destination is less. However, the operating modes and contexts are
diverse, just like the challenges on a worldwide scale. Rock art tourism as a national
industry suffers from limited information and thus limits its policymaking process.
The industry requires realistic market analysis and reliable data to provide useful
support to potential and existing indigenous rock art tourism stakeholders and
providers. The actual potential for art-rock tourism is better reflected by reliable data
provide by systematic cultural heritage survey. The article articulates that due to
challenges of developing remote and small business, there is limited participation and
hence there are few indigenous business firms that opt to conduct specialised rock art
tours.

The authors of this article take the challenging role of evaluating and
examining the nature-based tourism, which has been overlooked but with time
emerged a large and growing section of the tourism market. The article continues to
review the arguments by the advocates of nature-based tourism, who asserts that the
segment has the potential to generate revenue for local economic benefit and
biodiversity conservation. On a similar approach, the article authors review the
argument of the critics who assert that there is a risk of “loving our park to death.”
