The Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC) enters “exclusive discussions” with Journey Beyond for the sale of Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia.
A spokesperson for the ILSC confirmed to TD that it is in exclusive discussions with Journey Beyond for it to acquire the operator of Ayers Rock Resort at Yulara in Central Australia and the Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre in Far North Queensland, Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia.
The ILSC stressed that discussions are ongoing and at this stage there is no final binding agreement for a deal, and no further comment will be given at this time.
If the sale goes ahead, the land at Yulara and Mossman Gorge will be transferred to the appropriate representative group for each of the Traditional Owners.
The ILSC commenced an assessment of options for Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia in February last year, with a potential sale part of its review process.
