The GBRMPA recognises and rewards high standard tourism operations by offering tangible benefits to operators who operate best practice marine tourism in the Marine Park.

Marine Park tourism operations are identified as high standard if they are certified with an approved external certification scheme, which requires operators demonstrate a certain level of best practice in relevant aspects of their operation.

The GBRMPA recognises the ECO Certification Program operated by Ecotourism Australia, at the Ecotourism and Advanced Ecotourism levels of certification.

Other certification schemes may be approved in the future.
