Eco-tourism for Sustainable Development - GSE826
This unit explores the role of eco-tourism in the attainment of sustainable development. Through examining a range of international and national case studies, students evaluate the community, cultural and conservation benefits and risks of eco-tourism and identify principles of good practice. Related themes such as community-based conservation, issues management and conflict resolution, the involvement of indigenous populations in sustainable income generating activities, gender and resource management will be explored. Students creatively apply their learning and build on professional knowledge to plan the management of an ecotourism project.
