Indicator 6.3b: Range and use of recreation/tourism activities available

This indicator assesses the range and number of recreation and tourism facilities provided in forests, their level of use and their contribution to the broader tourism sector. Appropriate and well managed facilities help to optimise visitor satisfaction as well as minimising environmental impacts associated with recreation and tourism.

The most recent reporting available for this indicator is in Australia's State of the Forests Report 2018. 

Updated reporting for this indicator will be published here in 2026.
