Green Certification Programs

There are a number of certification schemes that can help businesses improve their environmental performance.   

Eco Certification Program 
Ecotourism Australia offers the Eco Certification Program, which was developed to address the need to identify genuine nature and ecotourism operators. The program assures travellers that certified products are backed by a strong, well managed commitment to sustainable practices and provides high quality nature-based tourism experiences. The Eco Certification range of programs are TAAL licensed, which means they comply with Tourism NT's accreditation policy.
