“We understand that the sustainability of tourism on the island is a direct reflection
of the little penguins and the thousands of tourists that flock to Phillip Island each year to view them,” said Matt Taplin, Senior Vice President of Resort Operations and Property Development at Wyndham Holiday Resorts Asia Pacific.
“Couple this with our Wyndham Green Program and this opportunity became a great way for us to express our ongoing commitment to not only the environment, but also our appreciation to the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks for all the work they do to make Phillip Island the best place to holiday in Victoria.”
A registered charity organisation, The Penguin Foundation is erecting a commemorative plaque to thank Ramada Phillip Island on its new corporate sponsor’s board. The board will hang at the Penguin Parade.
