Talking Tourism Episode 137 - TICT Emissions Reduction Initiative with Lauren Cameron

Lauren Cameron is TICT's newly appointed Carbon Action Advisor. Lauren is a sustainability and communications specialist, whose career spans fifteen years working across sustainability, international development, tourism and media. Having started out as a journalist with The Advocate in Tasmania’s northwest, Lauren has since worked as Chief Editor of a sustainable lifestyle magazine in Hong Kong, managed international development programs in Vietnam, partnered with sustainable tourism operators across Asia, and worked in the Environment and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.

For those that missed her at the Positive Impact 2 Conference, Lauren launched the TICT Emissions Reduction Initiative - a project supported by the state government to make Tasmania a leading destination for climate conscious travel by 2030. 

In this episode, Kelly Luck (also from TICT) chats with Lauren all about the initiative, how Tassie tourism operators can get involved, and the importance of reducing our carbon emissions. 

The key takeaway from this episode is the EOI period to be involved with the initiative closes on Friday 1 September - so make sure you jump onto the TICT website via this link to read more info and apply: https://tict.com.au/emissions-reduction/
