From Geopolitical Challenges to Nature-Based Health Solutions

Curious about the latest travel industry trends and challenges? This episode promises to equip you with the knowledge to navigate today's travel landscape effectively. We kick off with a heartfelt acknowledgment of the traditional owners of the lands we meet on and then dive into the industry's most pressing updates. While our guest speaker was unable to join, we make up for it by sharing critical news, including the impactful life and contributions of Theo Whitmont to the caravan and camping sector. Additionally, gain insights from the Travel24 event, where we explore the rising interest in nature and adventure tourism, the effects of geopolitical tensions, the significance of value in travel experiences, and the surprisingly relevant issue of "infobesity." Learn how to leverage these trends to enhance customer satisfaction through community connections and promote travel as a form of self-care.

Celebrate with us as we honour the achievements of paddlers and Olympians, with a special focus on the incredible Fox sisters. Discover the latest issue of the Journal of Outdoor Education Environment and upcoming events like the TAFE NSW active living qualifications meeting. We discuss groundbreaking research on nature-based health interventions, OCA funding updates for AAAS reviews, and exciting news about traineeships for 2025 and the Victorian Backcountry Festival. We also remind members of the new 'right to disconnect' regulations and the importance of reviewing their work processes. Finally, don’t miss the chance to shape the future of Outdoors NSW and ACT by participating in the upcoming AGM and considering a director role. Tune in for a comprehensive update and actionable insights!
