Tourism operators are gearing up as the Government moves to overhaul conservation law. 

Its newly announced bill would speed up concessions and give more clarity to those wanting to use conservation land for business, research, or charity. 

International tourists would also be charged to visit certain sites, with the funds to be re-invested into nature. 

Tourism Holdings Limited Chief Executive Grant Webster told Ryan Bridge this will hugely benefit operators like jet boat and caving businesses. 

He believes this will create year-round jobs and open up some regions.
