Ecotourism

What is an Ecotourism Job Like?
How Do I Start an Ecotour Business?

Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing tourism industries worldwide. Ecotourism holiday makers want an experience which involves nature in some way, be it hiking, snorkling, canoeing, rafting, 4WDing, camping and wilderness adventures or simply staying in ecoresorts.

There is a focus on conservation in Ecotourism, with holiday makers wanting to holiday responsibly, minimising their impact on the local environment and community. The locations in which Ecotourism takes place can vary greatly from deserts, rainforests, mountains, rivers, beaches and oceans to rural landscapes.

As Ecotourism experiences are so varied it allows for a great diversity of careers within the industry.

Possible careers include:

  • Tour Guide
  • Tour Operator
  • Ecotourism Planner
  • Research Officer
  • Interpreters for OS Travellers
  • Extension Staff
  • Wildlife Tourism Ranger
  • Marine Educator
  • Marketing
  • Public Relations
