Australia: Queensland climate adaptation strategy - Building a resilient tourism industry: Queensland tourism climate change response plan
The Building a resilient tourism industry: Queensland Tourism Climate Change Response Plan (Tourism Sector Adaptation Plan) provides a roadmap for the tourism industry to respond proactively to climate change, and to lead the way as a steward for the environment and a key contributor to community wellbeing.
This plan, guided by input from the tourism industry, sets a vision for future-proofing the tourism industry through six key building blocks and priority areas. These are:
- resilient businesses, destinations and communities
- stewardship and education for healthy natural assets
- green tourism industry leading the way towards carbon neutrality
- diversified product for quality visitor experience
- sustainable branding and marketing
- the tourism industry is united in working together with government and communities.
The plan takes a partnership approach that recognises climate change is everyone’s business and responsibility, and requires collaboration between all stakeholders and sub-sectors to ensure resilience is embedded in Queensland’s diverse economies, landscapes and communities.
