Tough questions. Real answers.

Transform the way your tourism business operates!

Have you ever wondered what else you can do, beyond changing light bulbs and buying locally, to become more sustainable? Do you want to learn how you can reduce water consumption, introduce carbon-offsets to your operation, or engage the local community in a more meaningful way? Have you taken the time to really consider how climate change will change your business?

Join us to answer these and many more questions.

The two day Beacons of Effective Sustainable Tourism program will guide tourism business owners and managers through a series of checklists and resources as they build their own 'sustainability action plan'. You will consider and examine the three pillars of sustainability – economic, environmental, socio-cultural – to provide a balanced and holistic approach to achieving and improving sustainability.

Learn how to calculate and measure the impact of changes on both the world around us and your bottom line.

Explore a wealth of resources to implement your sustainability action plan customized by you for your operation.

Hear about the pros and cons from tourism operators who are using sustainable practices.

Get inspired with practical solutions.
