Course Contents
This course explores the growth and impacts of tourism both domestically and internationally. Tourism has obvious economic, social and political benefits earning, as it does, precious foreign exchange and international contacts. Travel can be enlightening and entertaining. But international tourism in particular, also has costs, especially for the destination country. The diversion of scarce resources towards luxury accommodations, the commercialization of local cultures, environmental degradation, and the growth of a “servile” class, are frequent corollaries of tourism in developing countries. The content of the course is a combination of lectures around the key topics in the tourism development and planning as outlined in the detailed weekly course content.
