Wildlife tourism research has burgeoned from the
inception of the Wildlife Tourism subprogram in the Cooperative Research
Centre for Sustainable Tourism (Round 1). This has spawned the creation
of a society of wildlife tourism professionals including students,
academics and operators -
Wildlife Tourism Australia Inc. - and a plethora of publications,
reports and books in this emerging discipline. Some of the outputs from
'the kangaroos in tourism' initiative are listed here along with some
recommended readings.
