Course Description

This course addresses issues for sustainable tourism development from a political, social, environmental, and cultural perspective as related to travel and tourism. While well-known tourist behavior, whether domestic or international, has been based on mass consumption, this course will discuss the eventual limits to this model. By examining sustainable development models, we will examine alternatives that reflect the interrelatedness of tourism components from diverse perspectives. By relating alternative forms of travel and tourism, this course will demonstrate how tourism impacted the shared international goal of the world's sustainable development.
