Description
What you will learn;
This course has been written to convey the fundamentals of modern ecotourism as it is being practiced now. Ecotourism is, by many estimates, an 800 billion to 1 trillion USD segment of the travel and tourism industry, and is regarded as one of the fastest growing, if not the fastest growing, segment of that industry. As such, it is impossible to encapsulate all that ecotourism is in one course.
The goal of this course is to give the student a way to evaluate and understand ecotourism in their context. It is hoped that this initial course will prepare the student to partake of and benefit from additional learning opportunities. The course will address the definition of ecotourism in its applied sense, both from the perspective of the definition shaped by academic and policy experience, and from the definition derived by observed practice. We expect that students completing this course successfully will be able to determine genuine ecotourism when they interact with it, whether it is in plan form or extant.
