Texas nature tourism operations will be tabulated to help market the venues to tourists and, according to a press notice sent by email by TAMU, to help develop assistance for owners and operators of said venues.
“This is being done in order to assess the growth and demand of the industry,” said Miles Phillips, Texas AgriLife Extension Service nature tourism leader. “It will also help the traveling public find nature tourism businesses to enjoy.” Plus, nature tourism businesses may be added and information updated.

An online form is available at http://naturetourism.tamu.edu to encourage all nature tourism business operators to get their companies listed.

Phillips said nature tourism businesses might include agricultural tours such as hayrides, pick-your-own produce farms, and adventure tours, including biking, paddling, canoeing and ATV trails, as well as lodging facilities that cater to these markets.
