 Australia’s natural and cultural assets are a major drawcard for international visitors. Protection and conservation of these assets is essential for the survival and sustainable growth of the tourism industry over the longer term.
The challenge for Australia is to encourage the development and management of tourism products and services that will provide economic and social benefits to local communities while protecting and enhancing our natural and cultural attributes.
Sustainability is the buzz word of the moment – but what does it actually mean for us as members of the tourism industry?
This section of the Tourism Australia website is dedicated to sustainability in the tourism industry here in Australia. It outlines definitions and terms you should be aware of, possible approaches, best practise case studies and resources to find out extra information for yourself.
This site will be added to and enhanced as we embark on our own journey toward sustainability and hear more examples of the industry achieving in the area.
