Course description

This course introduces the concept of sustainability and its relevance to contemporary society and the tourism, hospitality and event sectors. It examines the potential positive and negative impacts of tourism, hospitality and events on communities, economies and the environment, and provides students with strategies based on the principles of sustainable development to manage these. Employability is embedded through the emphasis on analytical skills to develop strategies and recommendations to maximise positive impacts and minimise potential negative impacts, for sustainable outcomes. Employability is further enhanced through an interactive field trip at a Brisbane site that exposures you to real tourism impacts.
