Plan and implement minimal impact operations
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024
This unit describes a product planning function for a diverse range of tourism products delivered across a range of tourism industry sectors.
It has particular application to the tour operating, cruise and attractions sectors and to those tourism products that are delivered in environmentally sensitive areas. Many would be nature or ecotourism-based experiences.
The planning and implementation of minimal impact operations could be for a series of activities within a venue, a tour operation, or a one-off activity. This role would normally apply to those who operate with some level of autonomy or under limited supervision and guidance from others, e.g. senior operational or supervisory personnel such as senior guide or senior activities coordinator, site guide, interpretive guide and owner-operator of a small tourism business.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to organise and operate tourism activities with minimal negative environmental and social impact, and to monitor and report on any impact.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
The emphasis of this unit is on short-term operational action planning and implementation, without the strategic focus found in SITTPPD006B Plan and develop ecologically sustainable tourism operations.
