Jet Zero Australia’s Post

Thanks to Tourism Industry Council Tasmania for the opportunity to talk about aviation access to our state at the TICT conference in Launceston this week. Our CEO Norris Carter shared an update on our $330 million investment that’s now underway, which aims to enhance aviation access and boost Tasmania’s world-class tourism sector. This significant investment is focused on two transformative projects:   ✅ Upgrading Our Airfield - Enhancing our operational capabilities. ✅ Doubling Our Terminal Size - Expanding our capacity to better serve passengers.   With these improvements, international travellers will be able to enjoy direct, non-stop flights between Hobart and key Asian hubs, bypassing the limitations of Melbourne and Sydney networks.   Here's what this means: ✈ From Hong Kong, access 121 connecting routes and around 11,500 flights per week. ✈ From Singapore, access 143 connecting routes and around 13,000 flights per week.   We’re committed to driving growth for Tasmania’s tourism sector.

"Embracing Sustainability: Transforming Tourism and Hospitality" The tourism and hospitality sectors are experiencing a significant shift towards sustainability, with eco-friendly practices becoming central to operations and marketing strategies.Pros of such initiatives include positive environmental effects, improved brand reputation, and long-term cost savings. However, challenges such as initial investment costs and the need for consumer education exist. Despite this, the trend towards sustainability in tourism and hospitality is undeniable. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, businesses embracing eco-friendly practices are likely to thrive. Overall, sustainability is reshaping the tourism and hospitality industry, with eco-friendly initiatives driving positive change. This transformation presents opportunities and challenges but is essential for a more sustainable future in travel and accommodation.

#Sustainable_Hotel & #SDGs ☘ The tourism industry has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years, becoming a significant contributor to the economies of many nations worldwide. Countries have recognized the immense potential for revenue generation that tourism offers, prompting substantial investments in infrastructure, services, and attractions to attract visitors from across the globe. In 2019 alone, international tourist arrivals reached a staggering 1.5 billion, reflecting the industry's magnitude and its profound impact on societies and the environment. However, with growth come challenges. 🛎 The hotel sector, as the cornerstone of the tourism industry, faces unique environmental and social considerations. The continuous influx of guests, energy consumption, water usage, waste generation, and the strain on local ecosystems are just a few of the factors that demand our attention. Furthermore, the #COVID_19 pandemic has presented an unforeseen crisis, significantly impacting the hospitality sector and highlighting the urgent need for resilience and adaptability. Amidst these challenges, the imperative for sustainability has become increasingly apparent. 🌍The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework for addressing the world's most pressing social, economic, and environmental issues. Recognizing the profound impact of the tourism industry, these goals offer a roadmap for hotels to align their practices with sustainability principles and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future. United Metric is proud to present this compilation, designed to support hoteliers, managers, and stakeholders in their journey towards sustainable practices. By adopting the strategies outlined within this guideline, we can collectively drive positive change, mitigate the environmental footprint 👣 of the hospitality sector, and foster a more resilient and inclusive tourism industry for future generations. So, let us embark on this transformative journey together, guided by the principles of sustainability and the shared vision of a better and more sustainable future for the hospitality industry. www.unitedmetric.com #sustainabilitz #sdgs #sustainablehotel #hospitality #footprint #environmentalaspect #untiedmetric #kpi #

We are excited to announce that Pentland Ferries is sponsoring the Tourism Individual of the Year category at the Highland & Islands Thistle Awards! 🚢🏆 Why did your company choose to sponsor the Highland Thistle Awards, and what significance do these awards hold for your business within the hospitality and tourism sector? The tourism market is very important to our business. The level of service and quality across the service sector impacts on the overall tourism product. We believe that tourism providers that offer exceptional standards should be recognised and celebrated. This, in turn, inspires other businesses to do likewise – driving up standards and developing an industry that is very important to the region’s economy. What key message would you like us to highlight about your business when promoting your sponsorship of the Highland Thistle Awards? Pentland Ferries is an independent family business, operating a purpose-built car and passenger ferry service across the Pentland Firth from Gills Bay in Caithness to St Margaret’s Hope in South Ronaldsay, Orkney. The crossing takes around an hour. We are the first ferry operator in the UK to have achieved a Green Tourism Award. The awards programme recognises the commitment of tourism businesses to sustainability and is seen as a prestigious hallmark of environmentally sensitive practices and operation. Efficient operation keeps our running costs down and that is reflected in our fares. We want to make travel as accessible as possible for everyone. What advice would you give to individuals or businesses considering entering the Highland Thistle Awards for the first time? We would urge people to enter the Awards. We are fortunate to have some really special businesses operating to a very high standard - going above and beyond for visitors to the Highlands and Islands. What better way to shine a light on their amazing achievements? #HITA2024 #HighlandIslandsAwards #TourismIndividualOfTheYear #PentlandFerries #TourismExcellence
