This course provides an introduction to the relationship between tourism and "sustainable" development. Consideration is given to planning, implementation and management models with both international tourism and U.S. Park "gateway" communities. It offers a special emphasis on the assessment of tourism impacts (economic, social, and environmental) in determining the costs/benefits of tourism. Mediation strategies will be addresses, as well as cases of successful "sustainable tourism" development.
