ZooDoo Zoo Restoration Project, in partnership with Tasmania Landcare.
Positive Impact or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in tourism can be defined as a guiding business policy whereby tourism companies integrate social and environmental values in their own business mission, strategies and operations as well as in their interaction with their stakeholders.
We aim to be our region’s voice and build meaningful connections that inspire change and build trust. To offer our community the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
We adopt a holistic view of destination management to ensure business continuity and a sustainable tourism industry for all.
We believe in not just being a good corporate citizen but a great one.
Alex Heroys, CEO Destination Southern Tasmania

Objectives:
Almost 25% of Tasmania is protected temperate wilderness. This vast expanse was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1982. Dramatic sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls, caves and unique rock formations will captivate you. Serene rivers, glacial tarns, and majestic alpine peaks await.

The Tasmanian tourism industry acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita /Tasmania.
We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement.
As a tourism industry that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands.
We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
