Barrington Coast, MidCoast Council’s destination brand was one of only three destinations in Australia to make the Top 100 Green Destinations list.
The Green Destinations Top 100 Stories is an annual competition that collects and celebrates initiatives from destinations globally, inspiring responsible tourism leadership.
The competition celebrates destinations leading the way in sustainable tourism and leadership and recognises innovative sustainable measures for both community and visitors.
Our story – Barrington Coast: The place where the leaves touch the waters, from the mountains to the sea focuses on Council’s Destination Management Plan. This recognises the intrinsic values of our region’s natural and cultural assets and management of visitor numbers.
MidCoast Council Mayor Claire Pontin said this recognition was a clear sign MidCoast Council was on the right path with its Destination Management Plan.
“As we work towards obtaining our ECO Destination Certification with EcoTourism Australia, the Green Destinations Top 100 list spotlights our progress towards a more sustainable tourism industry, while creating more attractive experiences for locals and visitors,” she said.
“I encourage everyone to have a look at the Barrington Coast story which outlines our aims, goals and directions to make our region on of the best green destinations in the world.”
The opportunity to enter the Top 100 was made possible through a partnership with MidCoast Council and Ecotourism Australia, as part of the ECO Destination Certification program.
The successful Top 100 destinations were announced on 15 October 2024, with the official ceremony to take place in Chile, South America at the Green Destinations 2024 Conference.
