to visitors, which is why tour guides require entry-level tour guide accreditation to work in the park. At the time of this plans preparation, accreditation is achieved by completing the Uluṟu Knowledge for Tour Guides training course administered by Charles Darwin University.

 Nguraṟitja expect to benefit from their land being managed as a national park, including through the use of their land for commercial tourism. Aṉangu would like to be more involved in the tourism industry, while
 safeguarding their culture, lifestyle and privacy, and maintaining Tjukurpa. They seek culturally appropriate tourism related employment and training opportunities, as well as the ability to pursue Aṉangu owned and directed business ventures. Aṉangu also seek other benefits, including income generated from commercial licence activities and revenue paid from park entry fees in accordance with the park lease agreement. There is greater potential Aṉangu to work with tourism industry to develop cultural tourism products and activities. For example, through joint tourism enterprises or products.

 It is also important for commercial tourism and visitor use of  the  park  to  be  sustainable, culturally appropriate and conducted in ways that ensure the health of both the country and its community. Parks Australia is committed to working with Aṉangu to facilitate the sustainable development of tourism in a culturally appropriate manner. Accordingly, many of the prescriptions and actions in this section of the plan reflect the principles of the Larrakia Declaration on the Development of Indigenous Tourism. This declaration was developed by Indigenous communities, government agencies and the tourism industry to recognise the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

 All commercial tourism operations and activities in the park are subject to the park management plan and the EPBC Act and EPBC Regulations. This includes all commercial flights over the park below 3000 meters (other than flights on approved flight paths to or from an airport). Flights over the park must also follow Standard Scenic Flight Procedures – the En Route Supplement Australia Special Procedures 7 (ERSA SP7).
 These procedures were introduced by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority in 1997, after an agreement between Parks Australia, Muṯitjulu community, Ayers Rock Resort, Ayers Rock Airport (Connellan Airport) and local scenic flight operators. The procedures describe recommended flight paths, heights, and areas of the park
 to avoid flying over, to keep sensitive sites and living areas quiet and to make sure visitors on the ground are not disturbed by aircraft noise. For more detail see: www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/aip.asp?pg=10
   At times there may be a need to temporarily or permanently close, restrict or change access to visitor sites for safety, cultural or other management reasons. Any restrictions on visitor access, or changes involving visitor management or commercial tourism activities are communicated
