60 tourism operators from South Australia flew the flag in Hobart as the
2009 Tour Down Under was named Australia’s best major festival & event and the Adelaide Convention Centre was named Australia’s best meetings & business tourism venue at the 2009 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. This is an excellent result for the State and all of our finalists should be very proud of their achievements. Read more.

Jade is currently working with South Australian tourism operators on the
Climate Action Certification Program. The Climate Action Certification program provides meaningful ways to reduce your environmental impact and to promote your business’ response to climate change with recognisable and credible branding supported by Ecotourism Australia.
The South Australian Tourism Commission and Ecotourism Australia will be making strong statements at ATE10 promoting SA’s sellers at the event as Climate Action Certified, positioning South Australia in the international marketplace as Australia’s premier sustainable destination.
Tourism consumers are increasingly concerned about climate change and are looking for acceptable options. Operators that can be easily recognised as making real efforts to address those concerns will stand out from the crowd and reap the rewards.
