Welcome to Golden Nugget Discovery Tours. I will keep you up to date with our tours and other activities as they come along. First I should let you know the ethos for our tours and our passion for the caring of the environment,and at the same time enjoying the environment.
I studied Ecotourism at Ballarat University and William Angliss Institute of TAFE, which gave me a greater understanding of the environment and how tourism can work with the environment without damaging it, what we call these days Tread Lightly and Sustainable tourism. I wanted Golden Nugget Discovery Tours to stand out from the regular tours, and being a member of Ecotourism Australia and having my tours Ecotourism Certified has allowed that.
Ecotourism Australia's definition of Ecotourism is as follows; Ecotourism is ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that foster environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and understanding.
The ethos of our tours is to follow this definition as close as possible, so that our customers not only see and experience, but also to have a greater understanding of the environment they are in, whether it be natural or man made.
