Tourism is often used as an economic development tool in developed and developing countries alike. However, recent protests against tourism in several countries have highlighted community concerns, while in places seen as leaders in sustainable tourism (e.g., New Zealand), the benefits of tourism to society, the environment, and the economy have been questioned. Against this backdrop, this course examines tourism and destination management through the lens of sustainability and the stakeholder framework. By embedding tourism within its broader social, environmental, and cultural ecosystem, both sustainable and regenerative approaches to enhancing the wellbeing of communities and the environment will be explored, supported by case studies from across the globe. The course incorporates problem-based and experiential learning using a multi-award-winning VR-based tool developed by VUW for sustainability education.
