Martin Ferguson AM MP, Australia’s Federal Minister of Tourism, officially launched the T-QUAL-Tick this morning. This new national symbol will help travellers to reliably recognise quality Australian tourism experiences.
“The T-QUAL tick is a mark of quality which will become easily recognisable whether it is on a tourist park in Tasmania, a five-star hotel in Sydney, a restaurant in far north Queensland, a hostel in Broome or any number of other tourism products and services,” Minister Ferguson said at the launch.

“The T-QUAL Tick is about differentiating tourism products and services on the basis of quality. T-QUAL businesses have all the required licences and insurances and have committed to a number of standards including risk and environmental management and customer service.”
As we have achieved ECO and ROC certification with Ecotourism Australia‘s accreditation program for all tours, we’re now also allowed to show off the new tick! Yay!
Over coming weeks it will find its way onto this website and our brochures for the coming season — but see it here first!
Here’s what it looks like:
Boh boh!
