This unit explores the role of eco-tourism in the attainment of sustainable development. Through examining a range of international and national case studies, students evaluate the community, cultural and conservation benefits and risks of eco-tourism and identify principles of good practice. Related themes such as community-based conservation, issues management and conflict resolution, the involvement of indigenous populations in sustainable income-generating activities, gender, and resource management will be explored. Students creatively apply their learning and build on professional knowledge to plan the management of an ecotourism project. -- Course Website
