In exciting news from Destination North Coast, EarthCheck have been engaged to develop a Nature-based Tourism Investment Activation Plan as part of the roll-out of the 2018-2021 North Coast DMP.

At the North Coast Tourism Symposium & Regional Tourism Awards in Coffs Harbour on July 25, EarthCheck will be presenting on nature-based tourism and facilitating a session on partnerships and collaboration, and investment attraction and funding opportunities. In this session, delegates will hear from Visit NSW State Forests, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and Austrade as well as a number of operators including TreeTops, Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours and Nightcap Ridge.

The upcoming Symposium presents an exciting opportunity for all sectors of the North Coast tourism industry to contribute to the discussion and begin to identify opportunities for nature-based product and experience investment and development across the region. We’ll also be deep-diving into food and agri-tourism, inclusive tourism and guest experience on the day so DON’T MISS IT!

Acknowledgement
of Country

There are more than 476 million Indigenous Peoples, found in all regions of the world, from the Arctic to the tropical forests. They make up more than 6 per cent of our global population.

 

In the spirit of reconciliation, EarthCheck acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout the world and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Indigenous Peoples today.

 

EarthCheck acknowledges that Indigenous Peoples are guardians of the forests and biodiversity hotspots we all depend on. Research shows that lands managed by Indigenous Peoples, with secure rights, experience lower deforestation rates, store more carbon, hold more biodiversity, and benefit more people than other lands — including protected areas.

 

We recognise and support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the most comprehensive international instrument on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Declaration is a positive document that maps out a path for Indigenous Peoples to be free from discrimination and secure in their identities and life choices.
