Nature Positive Tourism – Online Training
Join 3 webinars where you will be given an introduction to nature-positive tourism with an explanation of the tourism industry, conservation trends including rewilding, community engagement, and more.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.
What you’ll learn
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.
