Growing Territory Tourism with Airport Development Group

Airport Development Group (ADG) has a long term vision for the Territory tourism industry.



At ADG, we’re helping shape a vibrant future for tourism in the Northern Territory. Our long-term vision focuses on improving access, enhancing liveability, and delivering unforgettable experiences for visitors and Territorians alike.

Darwin Airport Resort

Australia’s first ever airport resort was made possible through a $30 million investment by ADG. 

ADG’s visionary project delivered a remarkable transformation of the Novotel, Mercure and ibis hotels, with progressive refurbishment of existing rooms, creation of new luxury pools, villa suites and bungalows. 

The resort incorporates spectacular Indigenous art, including a Larrakia Welcome to Country mural titled Mamilima. 

Travel Gateway – Curated Adventures Across the North

Experience the best of the Territory, Kimberley region and beyond with Travel Gateway.

Through partnerships with local businesses, we offer exclusive travel packages that showcase the best of:

• Natural landscapes

Improving access and liveability for all Territorians

ADG is committed to securing more frequent services at affordable prices to improve access and liveability for all Territorians. 

ADG works closely with its airline and government partners to secure more aviation routes and services through initiatives including the Tourism Aviation Attraction Scheme (TAAS).

We are proud to have brought new routes to the Territory in 2025, including AirAsia links from Darwin to Bali and Malaysia, Jet Star to Gold Coast and Air North links between Cairns and Alice Springs.
