National Sustainability Framework

Tourism Australia has unveiled Australia's National Sustainability Framework for the visitor economy, along with a handy Sustainable Tourism Toolkit.

Developed collaboratively by the Australian, state and territory governments, the framework sets a shared goal for Australia to be a global leader in sustainable tourism and outlines four key pillars:

1. Taking a managed approach to sustainability
2. Implementing environmental and climate action
3. Respecting culture
4. Creating positive social impact

Given that consumer research shows that 74 per cent of travellers are looking for more sustainable options, the toolkit provides practical guidance for implementing sustainable practices for small and medium-sized businesses.
