SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 explain the need for environmentally friend- ly waste management in the various sectors of the tourism industry (e.g., with regard to disposal of cooking oil and garbage, recycling of plastic and glass, composting of organic waste);
C1.2 define environmental sustainability as it applies to the various sectors of the tourism industry (e.g., staying within the carrying capacity of environmentally sensitive areas; using energy- efficient buildings, equipment, and transportation; reusing and/or recycling waste products);
C1.3 explain how the relationship between food producers and food consumers affects the environment (e.g., production of organic foods in response to consumer demand results in less use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides; the Slow Food movement supports local food production and the continuing use of traditional food products; culi- nary tourism increases consumer awareness of and helps to support traditional food producers
in many parts of the world);
C1.4 assess the ecological footprint of an event or activity.
C2. IndustryPracticesandSociety
By the end of this course, students will:

C2.2 describe ways in which the tourism industry can affect the economy of a community (e.g., multiplier effect – opening a new business creates secondary jobs, which in turn encourages further business activity; necessary leakage – much of the money spent by tourists [such as air fares] remains in the originating market or goes to tourism-related businesses outside the community);
C2.3 describe the social responsibility of compa- nies and workers in the tourism industry (e.g., with regard to equal employment opportunities, conservation and preservation of the environment, relations with local communities).
