| Syllabus: | 1.1) To ensure a triple bottom line business approach, the tourism, hospitality and events sectors increasingly understand the need to adopt responsible tourism policies and practices. The aim is not only to minimise negative social, economic and environmental impacts but to generate real economic benefits and to improve the quality of life for local communities. In addition, this approach is also expected to contribute positively to the conservation of the environment and to promote indigenous cultures within destinations. 1.2) To better understand and manage these new complex realities of contemporary tourism development in domestic and international destination contexts, the unit Responsible Tourism Management will, for instance, incorporate sustainable, ethical and indigenous perspectives, critically explore community-based tourism issues around local economic development, community empowerment and poverty reduction, as well as reviewing responsible marketing practices. |
