Artificial Intelligence (AI) Transparency Statement
At Tunarama Festival, we embrace technology responsibly to improve the way we communicate with our community, visitors and stakeholders while maintaining the authenticity that makes our festival unique.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used to support tasks such as drafting content, improving website accessibility, developing marketing ideas, analysing visitor trends and enhancing online search visibility. Every piece of published content is reviewed and approved by a member of the Tunarama Festival team before being shared publicly.
We are committed to ensuring all information published on our website and digital platforms is accurate, relevant and based on verified information. AI is used as a support tool rather than a decision-maker and is never relied upon to replace human judgement.
To improve the visitor experience, we continually optimise our digital content using clear language, structured information, frequently asked questions and search-friendly formatting to help visitors and AI-powered search tools find accurate information about the festival.
The Tunarama Festival team is committed to ongoing learning as technology evolves. Staff involved in communications receive guidance on the responsible use of AI, including its limitations, privacy considerations and the importance of transparency.
Our commitment is simple:
AI supports our work but does not replace human decision making.
Using AI-assisted tools to analyse visitor survey responses and event ticket data, helping identify trends and inform continuous improvement.
Published information is reviewed by our team for accuracy.
Personal information is not entered into public AI platforms without appropriate authority.
We will continue adapting our digital practices to provide trusted, accessible and easy-to-find information for visitors.
As AI technology continues to evolve, Tunarama Festival will regularly review and update our approach to ensure it reflects best practice in digital tourism.
Sustainability Commitment
Tunarama Festival is committed to delivering an event that celebrates Port Lincoln's seafood heritage, coastal lifestyle and vibrant community while continually improving its environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Sustainability is embedded in the planning and delivery of the festival through ongoing collaboration with local businesses, suppliers, sponsors, volunteers, community groups and government partners. We recognise that meaningful change comes through continual improvement, and we regularly review our practices to identify opportunities to reduce our environmental impact while enhancing the visitor experience.
Our commitment includes:
Supporting local businesses, suppliers, entertainers and tourism operators wherever possible, helping to strengthen the regional economy.
Encouraging visitors to explore the wider Eyre Peninsula, extending the economic benefits of the festival throughout the region.
Promoting responsible waste management, recycling and litter reduction across festival sites.
Partnering with local community clubs to collect, sort and recycle eligible cans and bottles, supporting both waste reduction and community fundraising
Working with food vendors and event partners to minimise unnecessary single-use items wherever practical.
Using digital ticketing to reduce paper consumption and streamline the visitor experience
Partnering with SA Water to provide a free water refill station, encouraging visitors to refill reusable water bottles and helping reduce single-use plastic waste during the festival.
Creating an inclusive and welcoming event that is accessible to a diverse range of visitors to encourage visitors to walk between festival locations.
Valuing and supporting the volunteers, community organisations and local partnerships that help make the festival possible.
Tunarama Festival recognises that sustainability is an ongoing journey rather than a single initiative. We are committed to reviewing our practices, listening to feedback and embracing new opportunities to improve the way we deliver the festival each year.
By celebrating local culture, supporting regional businesses and continually strengthening our environmental and social practices, Tunarama Festival aims to create memorable visitor experiences while protecting the community and environment that make Port Lincoln such a special destination.
