Responsible Tourism Management

This course introduces students to the concepts of responsible tourism management, community-based tourism, and adventure travel in a global economy. Situating their knowledge in a global context, students will visit several regional sites to learn the history of the area, including impacts on indigenous and ethnic minority communities. Students exam the organization's responsible tourism, stakeholder engagement, and visitor management practices at the local level. Case studies, research and journals are used to bring international perspectives in best practices and lessons learned.
