BA 511 - Sustainable Tourism

4 credits
Introduces students to principles of sustainable tourism. Instruments for sustainable tourism development are examined in case studies (international, national, regional and local). Methods and techniques that reconcile the different interests are discussed and applied in various contexts: urban vs. rural areas, developed vs. less economically developed countries. Students gain an understanding of their role as leaders in managing a sustainable tourism business while addressing global sustainability issues such as poverty, climate change, globalization/localization, and environmental degradation.
