Western Australia promotes sustainable tourism

Tourism Western Australia has teamed up with responsibletravel.com to create a sustainable travel guide to Western Australia. The guide includes travel secrets from locals, suggested itineraries plus tours and accommodation selected for their commitment to conservation and local communities.

The guide highlights the best natural and cultural experiences in Western Australia, from camping in national parks and swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef to discovering the aboriginal heritage which surrounds the ochre and black stripped domes of the Bungle Bungles. It goes beyond a normal guide with video and podcasts featuring insider tips from locals on where to go and what to do.

All accommodation and tours featured have been selected on the basis of a rigorous responsible travel policy and ability to offer a distinctive travel experience that benefits the local community, while sustaining the area’s natural and cultural heritage.

Western Australia’s Tourism Minister Liz Constable stated: “Western Australia’s natural assets are what set us apart from other destinations. Visitors are drawn to the unspoilt, uncrowded landscapes, which include the world’s largest fringing reef, ancient rock formations, lush forests and national parks teeming with unique wildlife.

“We have Australia’s only biodiversity hotspot and we strongly believe tourism has an important role to play in protecting these natural assets and returning benefits back to the environment and the local communities.”

Justin Francis, responsibletravel.com’s managing director, added: “Tourists increasingly want more authentic and locally distinctive holiday experiences, and to know that their holiday to beautiful parts of the world is providing the greatest economic benefits to local communities and supporting conservation. This guide helps tourists to navigate Western Australia’s diverse offerings and hear from the people that live there.

“Responsible tourism has been gathering pace in Western Australia with a number of new eco-focused properties and tours starting in the state over the last few years. The guide brings them together in one place.”
