Sustainability : Good for Business Workshop

Tourism accounts for 8.8% of global emissions, with energy use and transport among the biggest contributors. The good news? These are areas where tourism operators can lead the way—and benefit in the process.

More than 75% of travellers want to travel more sustainably, and 67% say seeing sustainable practices on holiday inspired them to make changes in their daily lives.

This workshop will show you how to:

Take simple, low-cost or no-cost actions to reduce emissions and waste
Make it easy for guests to engage in sustainability during their stay
Promote your efforts to attract guests who want to travel more sustainably
Tap into government rebates and support
Save money on utilities, operations, and waste management
Increase guest satisfaction—and bookings

Be the reason someone chooses your business—and comes back.

We acknowledge that Geelong and The Bellarine is Wadawurrung Country.

We welcome visitors to our region, a place we acknowledge has been cared for by the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation for thousands of years.

The environment is a key reason visitors choose this destination. Traditional Owners sharing the beauty and joy of these lands and waterways is a privilege, one we repay with respect for their country, Elders and people.

You’ll have noticed that we’ve changed ticketing platform recently so 100% of profits from ticket sales goes towards children charities.
