TMGT 240 - The Global Tourism System


Credits: 3 Total Hours: 60
Tourism is a major economic driver and is influenced by local and global issues and events, from volcanic eruptions to international trade agreements, from pandemics to inflation. In this course, students learn how international tourism is affected by social, political, and environmental impacts. Students identify sustainability principles and practices in response to global events, opportunities, and issues. With a focus on growth and development of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), they examine local, Indigenous, and national tourism systems. The course enables students to apply insights gained from global tourism to their local tourism contexts.
