machines as onerous to the island's freshwater supply, and that the detergents contain a high level of 
phosphates which are a major source of water pollution. The resort uses LPG-power generation rather than a 
diesel-powered plant for its energy supply, supplemented by wind turbine, which has reduced greenhouse 
emissions by 70% of diesel-equivalent generation methods. Excess heat recovered from the generator is 
used to heat the swimming pool. Hot water in the eco-cabins and for some of the resort’s vehicles are solar-
powered. Water efficient fittings are also installed in showers and toilets. However, not all the appliances 
used by the resort arc energy efficient, such as refrigera tors. Visitors who stay at the resort are encouraged 
to monitor their water and energy usage via the in-house television systems, and are rewarded with prizes 
(such as a free return trip to the resort) accordingly if their usage level is low. 
 
CONCLUDING REMARKS 
We examined a case study of good management practice and a pro-active sustainable tourism stance 
of an eco-resort. In three years of operation, Couran Cove Island Resort has won 23 international and 
national awards, including the 2001 Australian Tourism Award in the 4-Star Accommodation category. The 
resort has embraced and has effectively implemented contemporary environmental management practices. It 
has been argued that the successful implementation of the principles of sustainability should promote long-
term social, economic and environmental benefits, while ensuring and enhancing the prospects of continued 
viability for the tourism enterprise. Couran Cove Island Resort does not conform to the characteristics of the 
Resort Development Spectrum, as proposed by Pridcaux (2000). According to Pridcaux. the resort should be 
at least at Phase 3 of the model (the National tourism phase), which describes an integrated resort providing 
3-4 star hoteltypeaccommodation. The primary tourist market in Phase 3 of the model consists mainly of 
interstate visitors. However, the number of interstate and international tourists visiting the resort is small, 
with the principal visitor markets comprising locals and residents front nearby towns and the Gold Coast 
region. The carrying capacity of Couran Cove docs not seem to be of any concern to the Resort 
management. Given that it is a private commercial ecotourist enterprise, regulating the number of visitors to 
the resort to minimise damage done to the natural environment on South Stradbrokc Island is not a binding 
constraint. However, the Resort’s growth will eventually be constrained by its carrying capacity, and 
quantity control should be incorporated in the management strategy of the resort.
