The rapid growth in the movement of people in the tourism industry, both domestically and internationally, has brought about an industry of vast proportions and diversity. This course focuses on the development of students' global perspective of the impact of other countries and people on society, within the context of sustainable tourism planning, development and management. Sustainable tourism is based upon three core principles: quality, continuity and balance. Sustainable tourism provides a quality experience for visitors while improving the quality of life of the host community and protecting the quality of the environment. It ensures the continuity of the natural resources upon which it is based and the continuity of the culture of the host community and requires continuity of visitors interest. Sustainable tourism balances the need of hosts, guest and the environment. This course is offered to Hospitality and Tourism juniors and seniors only. This requires a mandatory field trip to and international location and has additional lab fees. Global marker
