Best Practice Ecotourism – A Guide to Energy and Waste Minimisation

In November 1994, the Commonwealth Department of Tourism commissioned the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) to carry out a study to investigate
cost-effective energy and waste minimisation practices relevant to ecotourism and nature-based tourism operators. The research findings on current industry practices quoted in this guide were established through an extensive research and consultation process undertaken by the ACF. Reference sheets provide practical information on how to minimise waste and energy use in most activities associated with fixed facilities and tour operations.
