GOING GREEN
It seems like everyones going green these days, but how can you know which businesses are
actually eco-friendly and which are simply jumping on the eco/sustainable bandwagon?
The following attractions, tours and accommodation choices have all been selected by Lonely
Planet authors because they demonstrate an active sustainable-tourism policy. Some are involved
in conservation or environmental education, and many are owned and operated by local and
indigenous operators, thereby maintaining and preserving local identity and culture.
Some of the listings below have also been certified by Ecotourism Australia (www.ecotourism
.org.au), which means they meet high standards of environmental sustainability, business ethics
and cultural sensitivity.
We want to keep developing our sustainable-tourism content. If you think weve omitted someone who should be listed here, or if you disagree with our choices, email us at talk2us@lonelyplanet
.com.au and set us straight for next time. For more information about sustainable tourism and
Lonely Planet, see www.lonelyplanet.com/responsibletravel.
