NZTRI Facilitates Workshop on Nature-based Tourism in the North Atlantic

On October 7-8th, NZTRI Associate Director Dr. John Hull delivered a two day workshop funded by the Nordic Council's Office of North Atlantic Agreement (NORA) for the Wild North Project in Torshavn, Faroe Islands.

The main objective of the Wild North project is to find ways to contribute to the sustainable development of wildlife tourism in the Northern Periphery, and thereby ensure the trade’s foundations, the livelihood of its workers, and the long term integrity of natural resources. The project participants are tourism companies that specialize in natural based tourism/wildlife tourism, official entities such as the Greenland Tourism and Business Council, and various universities such as the University of Iceland. Wild North is an international project with partners in Iceland, The Faroe Islands, Greenland and Norway.
