Overview
The challenges facing the sustainable development of the industry in emerging economies are identified and the roles played by key sectors of the tourism economy such as aviation and transport, accommodation, national tourism boards, NGO development organisations and the public and private sector are examined.
The impact of market facing development, the growth of "new tourism" business models and independent travel on emerging tourism economies are reviewed as are the economic concepts of leakage and linkage.
The unit is presented via a number of on campus seminars complemented by an industry focused field work tour to a "case study" tourism economy such as; Fiji (South Pacific}, Vietnam/Cambodia (S.E Asia} or the Baltic States (Eastern Europe). (The selected study tour destination will be nominated at the start of semester and may vary from year to year}
