Curious about sustainable tourism? Karen Hensel breaks it down perfectly for us: The tourism boom brings both opportunities and challenges for our favourite outdoor spots. Mass tourism can strain nature, local communities, and cultural heritage. But, there's a better way - Sustainable travel not only protects our planet but also enriches destinations. We don't have to choose between one or the other. How do you know if a destination is truly sustainable? Look for quality seals like those from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council and EarthCheck. These certifications ensure environmental protection, fair working conditions, and benefits for locals. #SustainableTourism #TravelResponsibly #ProtectOurPlanet

Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell "The tourism industry is committed to reducing our emissions by 43% by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050." Australian Tourism Industry Council Chair Evan Hall BYKKO Micromobility Hubs takes pride in being the chosen technology provider for numerous tourism operators, facilitating sustainable travel experiences through eco-friendly transport solutions and green infrastructure. #ATIC #sustainabletravel #zeroemissions #esg #cycling #ebikes #ecotourism
