During the expedition I will be investigating ecotourism products and services and doing a rapid assessment of them, based on the new knowledge I am gaining through this course. One of our stops during the expedition (August 27) is an award winning ecotourism business - EcoBeach Resort. Their website is:
http://www.ecobeach.com.au/
We will be staying in what they describe as the "spacious safari-style Eco Tents (that) will bring you close to nature whilst offering you comfort and convenience" (http://www.ecobeach.com.au/accommodation/eco-tents.php). I am really looking forward to this ecotourism expereince.
We will also have an opportunity to meet with the owner and listen to his story on how he has created this ecotourism business. Be sure to check out the photos I will be posting later. In the 2012 Australian Tourism awards EcoBeach won the following three awards:
UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION
Winner: Eco Beach Broome, Australiaís North West, WA
QANTAS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Bronze: Eco Beach Broome, WA
ECOTOURISM
Bronze: Eco Beach Broome
This will be a great ecotourism business for investigation into for Best Practices.
