Ecotourism and Queensland National Parks: An Investigation of Supported Walks in National Parks, Issues and Recommendations. Ecotourism is a growing industry in Australia and worldwide, placing pressure on national parks. This paper summarises evidence-based research of supported multi-day walks in national parks in Australia and overseas to inform government policy on ecotourism in national parks. This research was undertaken in response to a proposal to develop private infrastructure (including commercial ecolodges) and associated support within Main Range National Park for a multi-day walk. NPAQ Conservation Principal Laura Hahn presented the above NPAQ paper at an ecotourism conference in 2018.
