read moreIn helping Tasmania’s hospitality and tourism operators reduce their carbon footprint, the State Government has opened applications for their $900,000 Tourism Emissions Reduction Grant Program.
Tasmanian Premier and Minister for Tourism, Jeremy Rockliff, said this program supports the government's commitment for the state to be a leading destination for climate-conscious travel, as outlined in the 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy
Premier Rockliff notes “One-off grants up to $50,000 for small and $100,000 for medium to large tourism and hospitality businesses are available for those who have previously completed an emissions/carbon audit.
“The funding will support projects that reduce emissions within a business and cover one or more of the areas of transport, waste reduction, carbon accounting training or new low-emissions technology or equipment.
"Whether the successful projects include lower emissions vehicles, reduction of waste to landfill, carbon monitoring systems or induction cooktops, we’re providing tourism and hospitality businesses the opportunity to make a real difference.
“This grants program is an important next step to support businesses to act on the carbon audits our Government helped them to undertake.”
Premier Rockliff said the latest program was one of four streams that make up the $1.5 million tourism emissions reduction package.
“As part of this package, we have also provided support, through the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania, for those who are earlier in their journey to reducing emissions,” the Premier said.
The Tourism Industry Council Tasmania is helping operators to undertake emissions audits and carbon accounting, as well as helping them to understand their emissions profile and then develop plans to reduce their footprint.
