Description
Sustainable Tourism: Trends and Practices examines the balance between economic development, environmental protection, and cultural preservation in the tourism industry. As global travel surges, the need for responsible tourism practices has never been more critical. This course introduces you to sustainability frameworks such as the Triple Bottom Line and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and shows how these are applied in destinations around the world. Topics include eco-tourism, heritage conservation, green certification, low-impact travel, and community-based tourism initiatives. You’ll learn how to design travel experiences that benefit local populations, minimize environmental impact, and maintain cultural authenticity. The course also covers regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, and the role of technology in sustainable planning. Through real-world case studies—from Costa Rica’s rainforest lodges to Bhutan’s high-value, low-impact tourism model—you’ll gain a global perspective on best practices and innovation in the field. Whether you’re a tour operator, travel writer, student, or entrepreneur, this course empowers you to contribute to tourism that respects the planet and its people.
