[|Will this be the Social Web World Conservation Congress?] [|Tourism, Parks and Protected Areas]

Official Spin
The IUCN World Conservation Congress is the world’s largest and most important conservation event. Held every four years, the Congress aims to improve how we manage our natural environment for human, social and economic development. The 2012 World Conservation Congress will be held from 6 to 15 September 2012 in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Leaders from government, the public sector, non-governmental organizations, business, UN agencies and social organizations will discuss, debate and decide solutions for the world’s most pressing environment and development issues.The Congress starts with a Forum where IUCN members and partners discuss cutting edge ideas, thinking and practice. The Forum leads into the IUCN Members’ Assembly, a unique global environmental parliament of governments and NGOs. Effective conservation action cannot be achieved by conservationists alone. The 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress is the place to put aside differences and work together to provide the means and mechanisms for good environmental governance, engaging all parts of society to share both responsibilities and the benefits of conservation.

Essay
As members of the IUCN's Tourism and Protected Areas Specialist Group (TAPAS) we will focus particular attention on events within the event that focus on tourism:

Suggested hashtag: [|#Forum0254]
 * Sep 10**, [|11am-1pm] [|Indigenous Community Engagement in Tourism & World Heritage]

Suggested hashtag: #Forum0126 [|@IUCN] [|@KuoniGroup][|@theblueyonder]
 * Sep 10**, 9am-6pm [|Business skills for ecotourism operations] - The training workshop will be delivered by tourism professionals from Kuoni, a leading global tour operators, and its partners. This training will focus on delivering skills related to (ecotourism ) business development and management including (1) understanding the ecotourism potential of a site and product; (2) business planning; (3) health & safety; and (4) marketing. Instructors from the business sector will share their experience and key learning in these areas; this will be complemented by scenarios building exercises and many opportunities for exchanging with the instructors and among the other participants.Presentations include:• Ecotourism potential of a site and a product, by Björn Schimanski, Managing Director of Asian Trails Laos• Business planning, by Björn Schimanski, Asian Trails Laos and Gopinath Parayil (Gopi), Founder and Chief Executive of The Blue Yonder• Health and Safety, Clay Stayt, GTA and Kuoni Destination Management• Marketing, Gopinath Parayil (Gopi), Founder and Chief Executive of The Blue Yonder

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline;">Newly-published textbook on “Integrating Business Skills into Ecotourism Operations” (download from: @http://data.iucn.org/dbtw-wpd/edocs/2012-032.pdf ). This book is targeted at conservation organisations that are developing ecotourism businesses, providing them with an introduction to the business skills required to manage such businesses as market viable and effective tools for conservation. It was created as part of the Business Skills Transfer Programme for Ecotourism Development, a joint effort by IUCN and Kuoni Group aimed at supporting conservation organisations in managing ecotourism-related businesses through business skills, knowledge and experience sharing.

Awards
Innovation and dedication are keys to progress in our national parks and protected areas’ conservation. The Kenton Miller award celebrates individuals who are taking bold steps in protecting these most valued resources by recognizing their invaluable work with a 5,000 USD grant and accompanying citation.

Nature+
The Congress theme is to be [|Nature+], a simple and memorable slogan that captures the fundamental importance of nature and its inherent link to every aspect of our lives. Nature is naturally strong. Even the most delicate looking plant, animal or ecosystem is relatively tough, their survival instincts honed over generations of evolution. But many years of human civilization have undermined our environment and the fundamental natural infrastructure that supports our lives, communities and economies. Nature+ is about boosting the resilience of nature – improving how quickly nature and people adapt to change. Better use of the inherent robustness of nature leads to healthier natural systems, better results from ecosystem and biodiversity restoration, and healthier people, communities and economies.

The Forum
The Forum is a public gathering hosted by the world’s conservation community, bringing together people from all over the world to discuss, share and learn.Addressing the world’s most pressing sustainable development challenges, the Forum offers a unique platform for debates, workshops, dialogues, roundtable discussions, training courses, music and exhibitions.
