The House of Honey are proud to announce our recent accreditation in Sustainable Tourism, awarded by the TCWA (Tourism Council, Western Australia).
This accreditation programme helps guide businesses to create high-quality, engaging, and memorable tourism experiences, whilst also ensuring a robust commitment to sustainable tourism practises.
A lifetime sustainability commitment
Our journey to becoming accredited reflects a sustainable mindset that is ingrained within our business values. Using traditional and sustainable farming, endorsing good bee husbandry, and following the national code for bio-security practises has formed the backbone of our business since our beginnings in 2010. It has been our mission to use our Swan Valley shop, beekeeping workshops and presence in various committees and councils to spread our knowledge in sustainable beekeeping. Becoming advocates for sustainable tourism is the next step in our sustainability mission.
Joining the movement in WA
But we aren’t alone in our accreditation, and indeed mission for sustainability. We’re joining some 1,200 businesses within Western Australia striving to lead the way as a sustainable tourism destination.
“In this day and age, we all have a responsibility to making sustainable commitments that not only benefit our environment and local communities, but our consumers too. The tourism industry has a long journey ahead to become more sustainable, but with locally owned WA businesses like us pledging to make a difference, it signifies a positive step towards a brighter, and more profitable future for the state.” Kim Phillips, Managing Director and Owner.
Sustainability matters to us
What is Sustainable Tourism?
Sustainable tourism – defined as “tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts” – is a rising concern that is having a huge influence on the tourism industry across the globe. In fact, more than 80% of global travelers noted that sustainable tourism was important to their travel decisions, and they are motivated by sustainable travel incentives. We’re making sure that we’re ahead of the curve by embracing the changes needed for a more sustainable tourism industry and meeting our travelers and tourists’ sustainability expectations too.
