Over the past twenty years  Ecotourism Australia has grown from a small group of environmental tourism enthusiasts, to the world's most respected industry organisation in ecotourism. 
This has come about through the hard work of a range of people over a long period during which time we have established the benchmarks for the industry globally. 
As we celebrate our 20th  anniversary it is a good time to reflect on our achievements, celebrate the milestone, and chart a course for further development of ecotourism in Australia as it is one of our leading attractions for international tourists.

20 YEARS OF LEADING THE WAY

While its hard to encapsulate 20 years of development and achievements for an organisation like Ecotourism Australia, members of the Ecotourism Board have developed a snapshot of the history of Ecotourism Australia  "Leading the way for 20 years" which can be downloaded by clicking the link above. 

There is no way a 4 page brochure can fully capture the hard work and dedication of so many people over so many years. 
Thank you to all those who explored their records to find the details and provide photos.
Any omissions and errors are accidental and in no way reflect on the value of the contribution of so many to Ecotourism Australia.
