The Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC) and Tourism Australia recently launched a three-year partnership to drive excellence in visitor experiences and sustainable tourism business practices. Through the partnership, Tourism Australia and ATIC will encourage business participation in the Sustainable Tourism Accreditation, Accessible Tourism, Tourism Emissions Reduction and Australian Tourism Awards programs.
With visitors seeking tourism businesses that offer world-class accessible and sustainable visitor experiences, the suite of programs offers businesses across Australia a clear pathway to achieve sustainable tourism accreditation, evaluate their accessibility and emissions, and provide accurate information to visitors.
The Australian Government, through Austrade’s Quality Tourism Framework Grant Program, is providing $8 million towards these programs.
