Protecting our
Environment
The group is committed to protecting and preserving the areas in which it operates to ensure not only its own viability but also the viability of the communities which benefit directly from tourism generated by these areas, and with respect to heritage values and the culture of Traditional Owner groups.
CaPTA and Careers Training Centre are also committed to sustainability and has introduced many of its own initiatives to minimize its impact on the environment. These initiatives include natural resource management activities, waste reduction programs and education.
This commitment is further illustrated through participation in Ecotourism with a number of its operations holding Eco Certification. CaPTA periodically reviews and re-evaluates its environmental and sustainability initiatives as new information and technology becomes available.
