Ecotourism and green destinations in Queensland
Real Green, Real Experiences
Green travel is becoming more and more popular as many of us try to minimise our personal impact when we head off on holidays. This could involve something as simple as offsetting the carbon emissions from your flight.
But what about when you get to our chosen destination? How do you know that the tours, hotels or attractions you choose are committed to reducing their impact and preserving the environment around them?
There are a number of symbols to look out for when choosing an environmentally friendly holiday experience. These symbols ensure you will have a genuine experience of Queensland's spectacular natural environment while leaving no footprints behind.
When you book your holiday, look for the ECO Certified tick logo. All ECO Certified tours, accommodation and attractions have been assessed and audited under Ecotourism Australia's world leading certification program.
Green Globe 21 also offers an international green tick that recognises resorts, accommodation and tours which are environmentally sustainable. All Green Globe benchmarked operators meet stringent environmental criteria.
Choosing a product that displays one of these symbols means you will enjoy a quality holiday experience whilst providing you with peace of mind that you are doing your bit to preserve the natural beauty of Queensland.
