Good Afternoon,
The Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre has just released
research exploring bird-watching tourism in Australia. The research -
Practices, needs and attitudes of bird-watching tourists in Australia
included an extensive survey of national and international bird-watchers.

sector also contributed to the research.
The report has delivered a more comprehensive overview of bird-watching
tourism in Australia by:
* Investigating the diversity and common features amongst
bird-watching tourists
* Determining what bird-watchers most want to see and do in Australia
* Investigating the role of the tourism industry in bird-watching
* Investigating bird-watchers' opinions and practices in relation to
conservation
Researchers have presented 18 key findings which will be of interest to
