Ecotourism is about the joys
of visiting unspoilt places in various beautiful
and inspiring parts of the world, leaving as
little environmental impact as possible and in
doing so, helping to contribute to conservation
and the local economy. This course asks
whether the travel and tourism industry is
really as "green" as it appears when it comes to
sustainable tourism, and seeks to define what
true sustainable development in tourist hotspots
means for business, local people and for
holidaymakers.
There are special sections
studying the ecotourism industry and its impact
on the local environment and economy in the
following areas: The Galapagos Islands, Costa
Rica, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, South Africa
and the United States.
This course will appeal to people involved in
the tourism, hospitality and travel industries,
travellers themselves (both actual and
armchair), those considering an investment in an
ecotourist venture, those interested in wildlife
management and those wishing to know more about
the infrastructure, financing and politics of
the ecotourism industry.
The course uses a core textbook of over
500
pages. Students will need to write
essays/reports based on the textbook, and to do
a final essay/mini-project on any aspect of
ecotourism or sustainable development, based
upon either fieldwork or literature research.
This course is accredited
by the Institute of Hospitality Management
Ireland (www.ihmi.org.uk)
and graduate are eligible to apply for
membership. Holders of the diploma will also be
able to apply direct for a Master's degree in
Ecotourism with Calamus International University
(www.unicalamus.org)
- note: CIU is not a UK university.
Please note that this course is for business or
professional development of existing tourism and
hospitality operators and/or personal interest,
and is meant to be complementary to any standard
or international travel qualifications such as
training for airline staff or travel agents. |
