The International Centre for Responsible Tourism at the University of Greenwich is launching a new MSc in Responsible tourism.
The course aims to tackle the cutting edge issues in creating Sustainable Tourism with a strong commercial orientation. The new structure with the first four modules taught by distance learning is designed to make it easier for people in tourism, conservation and sustainable development to participate in the course.
The course has been developed from the Tourism, Conservation and Sustainable Development MSc, which has run since 1999, and reflects the latest work on Responsible and Pro-Poor Tourism in which Harold Goodwin, Director of the International Centre has been engaged.
Mr Goodwin said the course adopts a triple bottom line approach to sustainable development – economic, social and environmental – and is market orientated, looking at both the supply and demand issues.
The course will commence in late September 2003. For overseas students studying full-time the International Centre will endeavour to arrange internships to widen their experience of the opportunities for developing responsible tourism.
