New project to understand and predict global ecotourism

Harriet Newhouse will join the CEG in October 2015, having been awarded a Grevillea Trust Studentship, to undertake a research MSc studying the drivers of global ecotourism. Ecotourism is a major income source from biodiversity and can contribute substantially to GDP in developing countries. This project will explore the characteristics that attract visitors to sites around the world, and will explore the potential impacts of climate change on ecotourism attractions worldwide.
