| Course Description |
This module introduces students to fundamental concepts which inform contemporary thinking in relation to tourism. The module demonstrates how tourists and tourism are considered as agents of both development and environmental protection and the spatial expression of these impacts at the global scale. Through the use of case studies, students are encouraged to understand and critically analyse models which seek to explain tourism development and its impacts in economic, environmental and social terms. The module concludes with an evaluation of recent global events which will facilitate or restrict the future development of tourism.
