The West Australian government is calling for expressions of interest to develop an ecotourism resort in the Francois Peron National Park. The park is located in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, just north of Monkey Mia.
Tourism Minister Kim Hames said the site offered a unique opportunity for potential investors.
“The State Government is looking for investors to create a unique, world-class ecotourism resort of the same calibre as Sal Salis at Ningaloo Reef; Karijini Eco Retreat; or the Eco Beach Resort at Broome,” Dr Hames told the Sydney Morning Herald. “Francois Peron is one of the truly extraordinary areas of WA with its scenic coastline featuring red cliffs, turquoise blue water, white beaches and abundant wildlife.”
The site is the fourth released under the Naturebank program, which aims to position the state as a premier ecotourism destination. The first two Naturebank sites, the Bungle Bungles Safara Camp and the Mt Hart Wilderness Lodge, have recently opened their doors to guests. Click to comment.
