The concept of responsible tourism revolves around the fact that when people travel and visit places away from their own community, they make an impact on local people, their homes, and their local and wider environments. This program explores a range of areas relating to responsible tourism including sustainability, green tourism and “greenwashing”, and environmental and economic impacts. We examine the positive and negative impacts of travel and discuss with industry experts, ways in which the industry can be made more sustainable. This program is an excellent resource for all students of tourism and sustainable management.
