Ecotourism (or green tourism)

Our vision for tourism in the Tarkine is that all experiences should provide powerful connections with wild places and be well managed and sustainable into the future.


Our guiding principles for green tourism are;
- Sustainable numbers of visitors.
- High financial returns to the economy to allow protection and improvement of the natural environment.
- Encouragement for operators to adopt Environmentally Sustainable Development principles and practices.
- Recognition that the Tarkine as a place is the key asset and its wilderness is to be managed carefully and sustainably.
- Use of existing access and infrastructure to strengthen the viability of the Tarkine as a nature based destination.
- Protection and enhancement of the core assets and values of the Tarkine to deliver sustainable and socially acceptable outcomes for local communities.

to enjoy what we have now in the future, a sustainable tourism approach is paramount

Sustainable tourism (ecotourism)
Sustainable tourism refers to not only the environmental, but economic, and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development. For a long-term sustainability future of our industry, a balance must be established and maintained between these three aspects.

We are determined to maintain a sustainable tourism approach for the Tarkine, but as we understand, in numbers we can have an even larger influence. If you'd like to know how, please contact us or visit our corporate page for more details.

Online media
More and more content is finding its way onto the internet giving your clients and people, of all walks of life, access to a more sustainable medium.

Information is changing all the time, using more and more resources to get it across to the targeted demographics base.
By sustainable online media practices, an energy efficient website, and a hosting platform that is carbon neutral, you can present your changing information (web content or online brochure/newsletter) in a more sustainable way and for less of the cost compared to the printed media... don't get us wrong, the printed media has its place, but for the ever changing information, online media gives you a better return on your investment and presents in a more sustainable way.
