Theming:

To align with Tourism NT’s new brand the theme this year for NT Muster will be “Different in every sense” highlighting the Northern Territory as a destination that you don’t just observe, you feel through every sense.  Different in every sense will be accentuated in the atmosphere at each venue, in the entertainment and with the exhibitor uniform.
