Long-term ecotourism certification

The business says it has held Ecotourism Australia certification for 20 years and was welcomed into the organisation’s Hall of Fame in 2022. Ecotourism Australia is the main industry body for ecotourism in Australia, and its certification is meant to show that a tour operator follows sustainable tourism practices. The company says the audit process has helped guide its decisions over time and pushed it to keep improving. It also says all of its tours are listed in the Green Travel Guide.

Joined carbon accounting pilot

The business says it joined a pilot carbon accounting program linked to Tasmania’s goal of becoming a carbon-neutral destination by 2025. Carbon accounting means measuring greenhouse gas emissions so a business can see where pollution comes from and where it can cut it. The program was meant to give tourism businesses a footprint of their emissions and show where the industry could reduce them. This suggests the company has taken part in wider efforts to measure and lower tourism emissions.

Supports local nature and communities

The company says its business depends on healthy national parks, nature reserves, and local communities that welcome tourism. It presents ecotourism as a way to protect the places it uses while also helping people understand and value them. The material says the business sees tourism as tied to conservation and cultural appreciation, not just sightseeing. That links its operations to protecting natural areas and supporting the people who live there.

Promotes lower-impact operations

The tourism material describes several practical steps to reduce environmental impact. These include solar panels at resort sites, LED lighting, insulation, building controls for heating and cooling, plastic reduction, food waste cuts, water-saving systems, and rainwater tanks.
