Daintree Discovery Centre - winner on a world stage
The Daintree Discovery Centre, a rainforest interpretive ecotourism facility located in the World Heritage-listed Daintree, has just been awarded a prestigious international award for ecotourism.
The centre’s sustainable tourism submission won the category of general countryside at the 8th Annual Skal International Ecotourism Awards. Competing against tourism businesses from 48 countries around the world, the centre was specifically recognised for implementing a rigorous Carbon Offset / Bio-sequestration program as a means of minimising its carbon footprint. The Discovery Centre is a world-class interpretive facility nestled in the heart of the rainforest, just 10km north of the Daintree River and boasts a spectacular aerial walkway leading to a 23 metre high Canopy Tower. www.daintree-rec.com.au
