Tourism Council WA launches a new program to reduce carbon emissions

Tuesday, February 27, 2024 Favorite

Tourism Council WA will today launch a new program for WA tourism operators to commit to reducing their carbon emissions using a tailored approach.

The Tourism Emissions Reduction Program will enable tourism operators to undertake an online emissions assessment and develop a bespoke emissions reduction plan.

It will be announced at Tourism Council WA’s Sustainable Tourism Forum today.

Tourism businesses can then indicate their commitment to improving their sustainability to visitors by displaying their waste and emission reduction measures via a link or QR code on their website.

Tourism Council WA CEO Evan Hall said the WA tourism industry wanted to achieve the highest standards in sustainable tourism.

“The next generation of visitors to WA are looking for low emission, accessible, and sustainable tourism experiences in our unique natural environment,” Mr Hall said.

He said tourism operators and destinations now had a tool to meet the growing cohort of travellers favouring sustainable tourism product and experiences.

“Tourism Council WA has already achieved 1,300 sustainable tourism accredited businesses across WA, and we will now work closely with those businesses to reduce emissions and improve accessibility.

“By providing information about the sustainability of their tourism business operations, businesses can appeal to guests who value sustainable practices.”

Deputy Premier and Tourism Minister Hon Rita Saffioti MLA said creating a sustainable tourism industry was a key component of the Western Australian Visitor Economy Strategy 2024 (WAVES).

“The approach announced today by industry is a critical step forward in sustainable tourism in Western Australia,” Minister Saffioti said.

Environment, Energy and Climate Action Minister Hon Reece Whitby MLA said tour operators made a valuable contribution to Western Australia’s economy.

“The Cook Government is committed to working with and supporting Tourism Council WA to encourage greater standards in sustainability and accessibility in WA’s tourism industry,” Minister Whitby said.

“We want WA to be a sustainable and accessible destination while supporting our tourism businesses to be the best they can be.”

The Tourism Emissions Reduction Program applies to tours, attractions, accommodation, and experiences, and is complimentary for Tourism Council WA members.

It is designed for small and medium tourism operators to make a meaningful change to their tourism experience.

Western Australian Government to establish cabinet-level tourism investment committee

Following new data from Tourism Research Australia that showed the state had the lowest level of tourism investment, the Western Australian Government has announced the establishment of a Tourism Investment Committee of Cabinet.

Aiming to drive new tourism investment, the Committee, to be headed by Western Australian Tourism Minister Rita Saffioti, will bring key ministers together - supported by a new team within the Western Australian Department of Jobs, Tourism, and Science and Innovation.

It will also receive input from Ministers for the Environment, Planning, Culture and the Arts, Sport and Recreation and Regional Development.

Key focuses of the new committee will include:

• Providing strategic guidance and oversight of all major tourism attractions and infrastructure Investment proposals, including establishing key Government priorities;
• Strengthening collaboration and coordination across agencies to drive timely delivery of approvals through Government processes;
• Identifying and removing barriers to tourism investment;
• Investigating potential legislative reforms to elevate and expedite Government approvals and investment decisions; and
• Identifying new and existing ministerially endorsed tourism infrastructure investment projects.

The dedicated team supporting the committee will aim to work with industry to identify new projects, develop investment pathways, and action priority decisions of Cabinet and will also include seconded subject matter experts from various regulatory and delivery agencies on an as-needed basis.

Speaking yesterday to introduce the committee's work, Minister Saffioti stated “tourism is one of Western Australia's most important industries - and our Government recognises there is a need for better coordination across Government to ensure we are capitalising on the incredible potential we have.

"There are a number of Government agencies and portfolios that have key decision-making roles when it comes to delivering tourism projects and investment, and this new committee will allow us to drive better coordination and overcome known barriers.”

Tourism Council WA has welcomed the Committee’s creation with Chief Executive Evan Hall saying that private and public investment is needed to create new experiences and attractions, particularly on public land such as National Parks and Kings Park.

Hall noted “today’s announcement will give confidence to the tourism industry that they have the support needed to commit to investing in WA.

“New investment is critical in enhancing the visitor experience and improving facilities for guests with accessibility requirements.

“Additional investment will also assist in creating sustainable tourism products with greater energy efficiency and enhancing competitiveness with international and interstate destinations.”
