Tourism

Tourism is the ACT´s major growth industry with more than 1.25 million visitors a year, staying more than one night in the national capital.
The Namadgi National Park covers about 40 per cent of the ACT. It reaches to the border of the New South Wales Kosciusko National Park, and together with parks in Victoria is part of a series of reserves which protect most of Australia´s alpine and sub alpine areas.

Attractions outside Canberra include Cockington Green Minature Village, Mount Stromo Observatory, Canberra Space Center and Cotter Dam..

ACT offers some beautiful natural landscape and excellent bushwalking tracks can be found close to the city.
