Canadian Greg Snell wins SA spot in Best Jobs in the World campaign And the winner is ... Canadian Greg Snell. Snell won the SA position as wildlife caretake in the Best Jobs in the World competition. THE Canadian winner of an international competition to become a wildlife caretaker in South Australia wants to encourage more conservation and eco-tourism opportunities in the state. Greg Snell, 27, beat about 120,000 other hopefuls to with the SA spot in Tourism Australia's Best Jobs in the World campaign. The adventure tour leader and two other finalists, from Taiwan and the US, spent four days in SA this week undertaking challenges at Cleland Wildlife Park, Pt Lincoln and Kangaroo Island before he was announced as the winner. Mr Snell has won a salary package worth $100,000 and will return to SA on December 1 to spend six months as a wildlife caretaker around the state. ``Living in Australia is really going to rub off on me," he said. ``If I were to rub off on any Australians, talking a lot more about sustainable tourism opportunities and conservation methods, that could be incredible to ensure that the beauty of the South Australian environment is protected. During his time in SA Mr Snell has had the opportunity to sample a 1kg oyster and swim with sealions. On his return he wants to tour wine regions and cage dive with Great White sharks. ``I would send home the video that I made of swimming with sealions ... (and) anybody who watches that would be immediately enticed to travel to South Australia," Mr Snell said. The competition attracted 620,000 entries from 330,000 people, including more than 46,000 videos uploaded for consideration by the judges. There were about 120,000 applications for the SA position - about 20 per cent of all applications - including 8551 video entries. State Tourism Minister Leon Bignell said STA Travel data showed international sales to South Australia had increased by a third since the campaign began in March, driven by strong demand from Europe. Federal Minister Assisting for Tourism Don Farrell said Tourism Australia would promote Mr Snell's coverage of his stint, which will include blog posts, social media campaigns and photos, to capitalise on the increased attention on SA. ``I think you'll see a definite spike in tourism from Canada as a result of his winning this prize," he said.
