Course overview

The Bachelor of Tourism (Ecotourism) contains core foundational tourism theories and principles and extends and applies this learning into how tourism can support conservation of the natural world. The ecotourism specialisation gives graduates a thorough knowledge and understanding of some of Australia’s most significant natural landscapes along with the skills necessary to design, plan and deliver inspiring and memorable experiences for visitors.

Industry partnerships also challenge students to undertake in-depth studies into real-world issues that resonate in our current and future dynamic world. Experiential learning in the form of field study trips to Australia’s most significant nature-based tourism destinations forms a key element in immersing students in our iconic landscapes.

On completion of this degree graduates can apply their specialised skills and knowledge as future leaders in the rapidly growing ecotourism industry.
