This upcoming seminar will delve into an ongoing collaboration between Griffith University and Earthcheck with the specific intention of mentoring two local government regions in Australia to achieve destination level eco-tourism certification. The seminar will draw on this specific case study to illustrate how universities are uniquely positioned to mentor communities to embrace sustainability, with an emphasis on destinations that are traditionally unfamiliar with the concept. This collaboration has been cited as a critical component of the 'Towards 2032: Reshaping Queensland's Visitor Economy to Welcome the World', which identifies sustainability as a key catalyst for change in preparation for the Brisbane Olympic Games.
