The definition of ecotourism adopted by Ecotourism Australia is:

"Ecotourism is ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation".

Ecotourism Australia believes that the ultimate definition of ecotourism is compliance with the core criteria stated within the Eco Certification Program.

Tourism operators in Australia who have their tour, attraction or accommodation accredited under the ECO Certification Program can genuinely claim to provide authentic ecotourism product.

The EcoGuide Certification Program is a credential for guides, endorsing them as a professional who will deliver an authentic and environmentally responsible ecotourism experience.

Now including the national Guides of Australia (GoA)
certification, the EcoGuide Certification Program provides
a well-rounded and practical certification for tour guides.
