Description:

Ecotourism has long been heralded as a way for communities to avoid the apparent perils of extractive industries while reaping the benefits of economic uses of their natural resources. Recently, it has become apparent that the relationships between tourism and the natural and cultural landscapes upon which it depends are more complex and more contested than originally thought. This course examines the practice of nature-based tourism and consequences on the environment and local cultures. The extensive literature on this topic is examined from managerial, industry and participant perspectives. Examples are drawn from the United States and internationally. Prerequisite: Environmental Studies 101.
