Sustainability

As the national tourism organisation, Tourism Australia has an important role to play in championing and elevating sustainable tourism, not only through advocacy and education, but also through procurement, culture and leadership. It is essential that Tourism Australia lead by example, reducing our events footprint and encouraging others in the industry to do the same.

As part of Tourism Australia's commitment to its sustainability objectives, Tourism Australia will work to certify Destination Australia 2027 as a carbon neutral event.

Efforts to reduce the footprint of Destination Australia 2027 include:

• Leveraging the ICC's status as a recognised Green Precinct.
• Encouraging use of the ICC's recycling programs.
• Increasing provision of low carbon meals and plant-based dishes to 60% of all dishes.
• Minimising/eliminating the use of single-use plastics at catered events.
• Encouraging the use of public transport to and from ICC Sydney.
