This course is designed to provide students with a broad foundation in hospitality, sustainability, leadership and management, operations, marketing and information technology. The major provides students with local, regional and global perspectives on current and pressing sustainability issues and problems within the hospitality industry. The central core of the program focuses on the concept of “sustainability plus”, going beyond sustainability to address issues in terms of the five-dimension lens of people, ethics, equity, planet and profit. Students can focus in sustainable hotel, resort and event management or sustainable ecotourism management. Students gain hands-on knowledge and skill needed to pursue careers in hospitality, including hotels, restaurants, resorts, festivals and events, ecotourism, attractions, and eco-recreation with a focus on “green” jobs in business industry.
Students will have a
broad understanding of environmental issues and their impact upon the tourism
industry, therefore subject areas such as pollution, waste management and
biodiversity will be a primary focus. Awareness and the understanding of the
implications of tourism impacts, especially on socio-cultural and environmental
aspects, are critical to properly guided sustainable tourism planning and
development. The natural and cultural environments of communities and global
destinations will be explored to enable students to critically interpret
tourism interdependency and the changes and development of domestic and
international tourism policy. The course critically examines tourism planning
as a process and as a set of techniques for sustainable tourism development. It
focuses on the physical environment of tourism planning, and the social,
cultural and political realities of planning and policy making.
