“Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities and sustainable travel” – The International Ecotourism Society (TIES)

In many ways, careers in ecotourism have it all: the ability to make a difference for wildlife, habitats and local communities; the adventure and excitement of travel; meaningful global connections; and perhaps even a chance to explore your entrepreneurial side. 

Careers in ecotourism can also offer more opportunities (and pay) than other highly-competitive Conservation Job Types that rely primarily on donor funding.

We’ve designed this Ultimate Guide like a travel guidebook – to give you a glimpse of some of the exciting adventures in store if you embark on a career in ecotourism.

Feel free to explore everything cover to cover, or travel straight to the section you need.

In this guide you'll find: 

  • What is ecotourism? | Conservation through experience
  • What types of ecotourism jobs exist?
  • What are the different types of ecotourism employers?
  • What kind of people suit careers in ecotourism?
  • What top skills, education and experience are in demand in ecotourism?
  • How do I know if ecotourism is doing good?
  • Take home messages for careers in ecotourism
  • Need some help finding an ecotourism job?
  • Useful links and free stuff

Thanks for sharing Kristi I have added your post to our professional development channel and added the badge "resources", hope that makes sense. You can select channels, rooms and badges for your content when you are drafting the post from the right-hand menu when working in that interface. By selecting a location for your contribution it will be easier for members to find content and new posts will show up in their digest newsletter, if opted they in for a respective channel or room. For more information, please also see our instructional post via the link below. Hope this makes sense and feel free to add your questions here. Wishing you a nice day!
