Tourism Emissions Reduction Program
The Tourism Emissions Reduction program provides all Quality & Sustainable Tourism Accredited TiCSA members with an emissions estimate and a tailored emissions reduction plan. Businesses can demonstrate their waste and emission reduction measures to visitors via a unique link and QR code.
Developed in partnership with Carbonhalo, the Tourism Emissions Reduction program is a five-stage program that enables tourism businesses to develop an estimated carbon emissions report and an emissions reduction plan.
- Commit: Make a start by estimating your carbon emissions. It’s that easy!
- Reduce: Adjust your operations and start cutting emissions, straight away!
- Avoid: Stop using carbon-producing technologies and processes to get your energy.
- Support: Sponsor projects that cut emissions you can’t stop making.
- Sustain: Keep going! Maintain your progress in the medium and long term.
With a growing number of visitors seeking out sustainable and environmentally conscious tourism businesses, those making a commitment through this program will have another opportunity to distinguish themselves and reach new markets.
