Nature Institute

We’re researching new ideas at the interface of science, tourism, and education. Our endeavour is built upon the idea that there is an overlap between four groups:

authentic tourism experiences
professional development for Tasmanians
personal enrichment for lifelong learners
incoming students looking to upskill within Tasmania

As Tasmanian Geographic explores these new ocean waters, we’re inviting you to help us chart our course and contribute to an authentically sustainable tourism sector.

We greatly appreciate your contribution to our research and planning – many thanks!
