Cíle předmětu
Tourism is an economic sector vulnerable to climate change which also contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases causing global warming. Climate action in tourism is therefore important for the resilience and competitiveness of this sector. The course acquaints students with global environmental problems, the concept of sustainable development and its application on tourism, environmental impacts of tourism, environmental policies, international initiatives, and measures to support their implementation.
The course deals with relations between economic growth, climate change, tourism, and sustainable development. The emphasis is placed on the environmental impacts of tourism, environmental policies, and the wider social and economic benefits of sustainable tourism development. Students are provided with practical examples of the positive and negative impacts of tourism on sustainability and with tools to address them.
