Destination NSW’s NSW First Program has put together a comprehensive hub offering tourism operators practical advice, toolkits, training and industry connections to help them embrace sustainability.
Highlights includes a rich mix of quick‑tip guides, fact sheets, toolkits (like EV‑friendly practices, carbon calculators, and sustainability storytelling), and links to partner certification programs (e.g., EarthCheck, Ecotourism Australia).
Additionally, it highlights industry case studies, free training modules, and pathways for NSW businesses to access fully funded tools (such as the Strive 4 Sustainability scorecard) or apply for government grants related to waste, EV infrastructure, and environmental initiatives
By centralising these resources, the page equips tourism operators with actionable strategies, measurement tools, and support networks, enabling them to reduce their ecological footprint, engage authentically with local communities and First Nations cultures, and strengthen their market positioning through verifiable sustainability credentials.
