Ecotourism Australia's ECO Certification Program is a world first. It has been developed to address the need to identify genuine nature and ecotourism operators. It is now also being exported to the rest of the globe as the International ECO Certification Program.

The ECO Certification Program recognises 3 levels of Certification:

Nature Tourism
Tourism in a natural area that leaves minimal impact on the environment.

Ecotourism
Tourism in a natural area that offers interesting ways to learn about the environment with an operator that uses resources wisely, contributes to the conservation of the environment and helps local communities.

Advanced Ecotourism
Australia's leading and most innovative ecotourism products, providing an opportunity to learn about the environment with an operator who is committed to achieving best practice when using resources wisely, contributing to the conservation of the environment and helping local communities.

Throughout Australia there are many companies certified under this innovative program. Learn more about this program and Ecotourism Australia.
