Join Reef guardian campaign
TRAVELLERS will be rewarded for learning about the Great Barrier Reef with the launch of the Guardian of the Reef platform.
Tourism Tropical North Queensland (TTNQ) has partnered with Expedia in the United States and the United Kingdom to launch a world-first platform promoting reef-positive travel choices.
Tourism and Events Queensland has extended the campaign into Australia with Expedia.
TTNQ chief executive officer Mark Olsen said the Guardian of the Reef platform would help people to understand that visiting the Great Barrier Reef was the best thing they could do to help it.
“It was developed in consultation with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, blending science and environmental education with Indigenous wisdom and sustainable tourism experiences,” he said.
“The Guardian of the Reef platform links travellers to operators certified through Ecotourism Australia, Earthcheck and the Zoo and Aquarium Association while helping them to understand that they contribute financially to the Reef’s future through an $8 Environmental Management Charge.
