ADVERTISEMENT – Wildlife Tourism Conference, Geelong 29 Sept – 2 Oct

Hi all Wildlife Tourism Australia, a small, operator-focussed association, is holding their 3rd Australian Wildlife Tourism Conference in Geelong 29 Sept to 2 Oct, 2015. Though the association is small, the conference is looking like being quite big – with experienced and new wildlife and bird tour operators from all over Australia attending (including four of the biggest wildlife tourism companies in Australia), as well as academics from Australia, the US, Indonesia, Kenya, Japan and The Philippines and representatives from Tourism Victoria, Parks Victoria, Phillip Island Nature Parks and Zoos Victoria. Speakers include the Threatened Species Commissioner Gregory Andrews, Senator Janet Rice, and a welcome from the State Minister for Tourism, the Hon John Eren MP. If you are involved in birding or wildlife tourism, or would like to be, this is a very reasonably-priced way to meet lots of key players and get great advice. We attended the Darwin conference two years ago, and were thrilled with the results – we made new friends all over Australia and around the world, and many of those friends have helped our business grow (and receive a big international award!). Full registration (members): 3 full days just $380 includes welcome function, all lunches, morning and afternoon teas. 1 day registration (members): $180 Learn more: [1]http://www.wildlifetourism.org.au/wildlife-tourism-conference-2015 All the best and hope to see you there!
