2012 Whale & Dolphin Watch Operators Conference

Hilton Brighton Metropole, Brighton, UK. Thursday 25th - Friday 26th October 2012

Planet Whale is driving positive change within the global whale and dolphin watching industry like never before. PlanetWhale.com has developed into the largest search engine for whale and dolphin trips online, and the only place where people can read reviews from customers based on a simple set of ethical criteria.

Not only are well reviewed whale and dolphin watch operators benefiting from superior ranking within PlanetWhale.com, many are now working more closely with Planet Whale through a series of partnerships and workshops to raise their standards and encourage more customers in the process.

In 2012, Planet Whale is providing new opportunities for whale and dolphin watch operators to reach fresh markets through the organisation of the world’s largest Whale Festival.

It’s also time to give the global whale and dolphin watching industry a voice – starting with the first ever World Whale & Dolphin Watch Operators Conference! This gathering of whale and dolphin watching businesses from around the world will be a fantastic opportunity to form a new alliance, share ideas, and learn from the best practitioners in the business. The conference will focus on helping whale watch businesses to be more sustainable, and more profitable, than ever before!

Finally, the conference will celebrate the very best in the business through a new annual awards ceremony. Whale and dolphin watching is so much more than just a business to the many people who work with these amazing animals. Planet Whale is here to share their passion, and work in partnership to create a brighter future for the whale and dolphin watching industry.
