The key objectives of this project were to: • identify and map core wildlife tourism viewing opportunities across Tasmania; • make suggestions on how to enhance wildlife viewing sites for tourism; • improve the accuracy and quality of information provided to tourists; and • market wildlife tourism both internationally and to domestic tourists. Methodology Extensive fieldwork collated details of existing wildlife tourism operators and sites and also identified potential future operators and sites. During this work tourism operators, natural resource managers such as Parks and Wildlife Service staff, non-governmental groups, wildlife experts and tourism managers were contacted. From these discussions a number of ideas for further enhancing wildlife tourism in Tasmania emerged. The resulting database of wildlife tourism viewing opportunities in Tasmania includes 110 operators, 140 different wildlife tours and around 220 species. Th
