Sustainable Tourism
From WikiEducator
- Sustainability is often perceived as a complex concept to understand and it can be hard for businesses to discover the benefits it offers. In essence, sustainability is about meeting the needs of today, without adversely impacting on the needs of tomorrow. As a term it can be applied across a range of areas, such as the environment, society and the economy. Ministry of Environment
This 30 credit course will introduce you to, or build upon your knowledge of, sustainability. The course has been divided into two 15 credit course 1 and course 2 (the links are below). It is our aim to provide two generic courses which can be contextualised to the industry in which they will apply. In this case it is "Tourism".
Otago Polytechnic will be running this course from May 4 - June 26, 2009. If you would like to join this course, please contact Hillary Jenkins.
As well as the weblogs for each of the courses, students enrolled with Otago Polytechnic as students of this course have access to learning support services such as the libraries, the Community Learning Centres, regular contact with learning facilitators and lecturers, assessment services and certification.
Courses
- Sustainable practice 1 - An introduction to the concept of sustainability
