Presented at the Global Eco Gala Dinner in Noosa last night, the awards are in recognition of the “best of the best” in Australian eco accredited product. “There are four categories in the annual awards,” said Ecotourism Australia CEO Ms Kym Cheatham. “The ecotourism category is a particularly competitive category which recognises ecologically sustainable tourism product with a primary focus on experiencing Australia’s natural areas while fostering environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation. Gecko Canoeing is an outstanding example of excellence in its field”. “Gecko Canoeing first started in the early 1990's as a genuine Eco-experience with an emphasis on guest experience and quality adventures in remote areas”, said owner of Gecko Canoeing Mick Jerram. “Our main focus continues to be on the Tropical Savannah River Systems, beginning with the magnificent and accessible Katherine/Flora/Daly System. We are one of the longest existing Ecotourism Australia accredited products and we continue to provide one of the truly authentic products in this region”.
