In an effort to bolster tourism and business on the Gulf Coast, the Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and the Auburn University Marine Extension and Research Center combined forces to see the development of the Nature Tourism Initiative take root.
The initial project which began in 2007 was designed to evaluate nature-type businesses in Baldwin and Mobile counties and offer the resources necessary for each business to run smoothly. Currently, the Nature Tourism Initiative has announced the new Coastal Nature Guide Certification Program; a day-long workshop is now scheduled to detail the program on February 22, 2010.
Already it has been reported that nature tourism in the area has been on the rise, with nearly 100,000 overnight guests this past spring in Baldwin County AL that had plans to observe wildlife. The current count of nature tourism related business is 42, with most of these being related to dolphin cruises.
