The aim of this module is to introduce, discuss and analyze sustainable tourism as applied to real tourism operations. This subject will introduce students to the principles of sustainable operations. Students will explore the ways in which tourism operations can progress to limit their negative impact and play a more responsible part in tourism sustainability.

This module takes, as its foundation, the potential positive and negative outcomes of tourism operations, and aims to help the student to create a favourable mix of these outcomes for a tourism operation. It takes a theoretical approach to the main concepts behind sustainable development and how they can be integrated into the operation of a tourism enterprise.
