Nature Positive Tourism: Online Training
About this course
Nature positive tourism aims to reduce and limit harm to wildlife and habitats, and actively leaves them with more protection and support. We believe that nature based tourism needs to move towards a regenerative industry that protects wildlife and habitats, supports the rewilding of natural areas, and is mutually beneficial for both tourism entrepreneurs and for nature.
This training program comprises two components: a webinar series and a field training in Italy. During the three webinars of the online training component (which prepares you for the field training), you will be given a broad introduction to nature-positive tourism with an explanation of the tourism industry, conservation trends including rewilding, community engagement, ethical standards, the role and opportunity of enterprise impact, and more.
Webinar dates:
25 February, 4 and 11 March 2026
Webinar 1: The state of tourism & nature
Review where we have come from and how tourism & rewilding can develop a sustainable future together. Includes case studies and a guest speaker.
Webinar 2: Introduction to Nature Positive Tourism
Discover and learn about the fast growing link between nature & tourism, the sustainable way to grow and how to ensure you, your business and nature can benefit and grow.
Webinar 3 : Community & Enterprise
Critical partners include local communities and
businesses. Discover how vital these partnerships are and how you can strengthen them going forward.
Each webinar takes roughly 2 hours. The total duration of the course then accounts for pre-reads, homework and assessment.
