2010 Conference

          Welcome to The 3rd Australian Wildlife Tourism Conference

                  

                                                                                          ANNOUNCEMENT

It is with the utmost regret that I must inform you that The 3rd Australian Wildlife Tourism Conference on 1-3 September 201 at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary will be cancelled.

This unfortunate situation has resulted from an inadequate number of required submissions and registrations in order to efficiently conduct the conference. Perhaps in these hard financial times the tourism industry, and perhaps us all, have found ourselves in unprecedented hardship.

Perhaps the most unfortunate result is that we as a group of dedicated wildlife tourism professionals will be unable to share in each other’s work and continue to build those professional relationships required for the ongoing support and development of the wildlife tourism industry in Australia.

For those who have already registered please be assured that your registration will be repaid in full. A separate email will be forwarded to you regarding the refund details.

For those of you who have already made travel plans, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and in the case of plans that are unable to be altered Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary CEO Jonathan Fisher has kindly offered to give a special VIP tour for those affected.

Once again, from the committee of Wildlife Tourism Australia our deepest apologies for this most regrettable and unfortunate situation. It is hoped that sometime in the near future when the financial clime is better, that we may be able to once again offer you the opportunity to share your work with your colleagues.

Regards,

Pip Chalk
Chair
