Tangalooma Island Resort: A Natural Classroom for a Global Future

Where Sustainability Meets Adventure
  
Just off the coast of Brisbane, nestled in the crystal-clear waters of Moreton Bay, Tangalooma Island Resort is fast becoming one of Australia’s most innovative hubs for environmental edu-tourism. Known for its stunning beaches, shipwreck snorkelling, and dolphin-feeding experiences, the resort on Moreton Island (Mulpumpin) is now taking centre stage in global education initiatives. This July, the island will welcome a world-first event that merges tourism with sustainability and youth leadership.

   

Hosting the World: Global Link Australia 2025

From 30 July to 1 August 2025, Tangalooma Island Resort will host Global Link Australia 2025, an international summit bringing together 27 student teams from across the globe. These teams will converge on Moreton Island to present innovative solutions to real-world sustainability challenges, engaging directly with environmental issues facing our planet.

The program is more than just a competition — it’s a collaborative platform where young minds learn, innovate, and share ideas with a panel of sustainability experts. Participants are encouraged to explore their environment, interact with local ecosystems, and develop an understanding of the delicate balance between tourism, conservation, and community.

An Immersive Edu-Tourism Experience

Tangalooma’s unique location offers students an immersive learning experience far beyond the confines of a classroom. The resort integrates hands-on conservation programs with Indigenous cultural education, offering insight into the traditional custodians of the land and their enduring connection to the island. Students are invited to explore local marine and terrestrial ecosystems, participate in guided eco-walks, and even take part in beach clean-ups.

This kind of place-based learning not only enriches academic understanding but fosters a deeper emotional connection to the environment. It's a chance for students to not just talk about sustainability, but live it.

Tangalooma's Commitment to the Environment

With decades of experience in eco-tourism, Tangalooma Island Resort continues to lead by example. From low-impact visitor programs to partnerships with marine research organisations, the resort champions sustainable tourism that protects and enhances the natural beauty of Moreton Island. Hosting an international education summit is a natural progression in their mission to inspire the next generation of global environmental leaders.
