TOU501: Sustainable Tourism

Sustainable tourism, which developed from the 1980s concept of sustainable development, incorporates principles which integrate economic imperatives with the maintenance of ecological processes, biological diversity and biophysical resources; equity within and between generations; and the need for compatibility with society, community and cultural values. This unit analyses the management of tourism and hospitality development and its relationship to the conservation of natural, social and cultural resources. Participation in field trips on a cost recovery basis is required.
