Sustainable Business
Whalesong Cruises Hervey Bay cares about the environment, culture, its people (team members and guests) and its business. We firmly believe all are essential for a balanced business to survive and thrive.
We pride ourselves on working with the local community in Hervey Bay to preserve the area in which we work and play. That’s why we have obtained our Eco-Tourism certification from Australia’s leading and most innovative eco-tourism certification body, Ecotourism Australia. We've achieved 'Advanced' Ecotourism status which means our people, products and processes go to the next level in sustainable practices.
Whalesong Cruises is also a 'Quality Tourism Accredited Business - Sustainable Tourism' accredited through the Australian Tourism Industry Council (ATIC).
This means above and beyond the traditional definition of ecotourism, all other things that make the business 'tick' are necessary. Excerpt from the Quality Tourism website:
When you choose a business with the “tick” you can expect:
Quality
Reliability
Professional customer service
Accuracy in advertising
Sound environmental practices
Adherence to a Code of Ethics
An appropriately licensed and qualified operator
Our commitment to you:
- Adopt the highest environmental standards in all areas of operation to ensure we meet or exceed all relevant legislative requirements.
- Respect for the local Aboriginal (Butchulla) culture as we believe sustainability embraces the environment as well as culture.
- Ensure our guests receive value for money, team members are paid fairly and treated respectfully (and well), the business makes enough to re-invest and keep business strong.
As you can see, being a sustainable business has many facets. It's also an evolving process that will never cease. With new environmental technology, deeper understanding of traditional cultures, human resource needs/training and refining business processes/compliance, we'll see an even more refined Whalesong Cruises as time goes on.
