This course covers most aspects of sustainability in the field of tourism. It is a 12 session online course structured as an interactive learning environment: a combiniation
of self-learning (with texts, videos, podcasts), group-work (using
various online tools) and virtual conferencing (that demand
attendance).
After a #Kick-off and overview, we'll assess the #Framework of (sustainable) tourism and the relevant #Stakeholders, before encountering tourism's biggest both blessing and challenge: #Climate - and #Mobility, as a closely linked sector. In week 4 we'll talk about #Communication and #Clients, before we take a break in #Nature with it's #Biodiversity, #Animals and #Protection measures. We'll continue with #Management and #Policy as major instruments to contol and foster tourism. #Accessibility in week 8 is not only about #tourism4all but also about #Trails, #Mapping and #Signing. The economic relevance of tourism is our subject in the class about #Transfer: #ODA, #FDI and #Voluntourism. In the section about #Fairness we will have a look into various social aspects of tourism: #Gender, #Human-rights, #Indigenous-People, #Land-ownership, #Child-rights, #Poverty and #Peace.
Week 11 finally is about #Analyzing with students presenting their tourism and the #SDG #Posters. The #Masterplan is the icing of the class where #Applying all contents into a tourism strategy for an imaginary country is presented.
