The competition celebrates sustainable tourism and recognises innovative measures for both community and visitors. MidCoast Council’s story – “Barrington Coast: The place where the leaves touch the waters, from the mountains to the sea” – focuses on Council’s 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,” MidCoast Mayor Claire Pontin said. “I encourage everyone to have a look at the Barrington Coast story which outlines our aims, goals and directions to make our region one 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.
