Tourism Australia Green is our Gold
Tourism Australia has a new sustainable tourism initiative, ‘Green is Our Gold’ to rally the industry to protect and strengthen Australia’s natural environments, cultures and communities.
Green is Our Gold aims to guide responsible visitor behaviours: Celebrate Community, Embrace Culture, Preserve Place, Respect Wildlife, and Take Care.
The Australian tourism industry is invited to be part of the initiative by committing to the Green and Gold Promise. There is also a toolkit to help operators share their own sustainability journey and incorporate the principles in their business.
