ECO CERTIFICATION EXPLAINED
If you’ve travelled anywhere in Australia, it’s likely you’ve come across the ECO Certified tourism logo. Close to 500 tourism businesses – tour companies, accommodations and attractions – proudly display this logo on their windows, their vessels and their uniforms. But do you know what it signifies? Have you perhaps even thought that it’s probably just a marketing ploy; something aimed to attract “eco conscious” travellers?
LAUNCHING: ‘RESPECTING OUR CULTURE | CELEBRATING DIVERSITY THROUGH ECOTOURISM‘
It’s National Reconciliation Week this week (27 May – 3 June) and here at Ecotourism Australia, we’re using this important time to launch our brand new Indigenous marketing campaign.
