Tourism as an activity is increasingly being criticised for its
exploitative and extractive industrial approaches to business. Yet,
it has the power to transform and to regenerate societies, cultures
and the environment. The desire to explore the world around us is
deeply embedded in many people's psyche, but it comes at a cost to
the environment and often to the residents of the visited
communities. Much of tourism education has been closely linked to
preparing students for future professional practice, but the
challenges and opportunities linked to its consumption require that
its future leaders must exhibit very different values and
understandings to tackle ever more complex and wicked problems from
which tourism cannot dissociate itself. This teaching guide brings
together a compilation of values-based learning experiences that
can be adapted to suit the needs and disposition of individual
instructors. It aims not only to engage students in the subject
matter but also deepen their understanding of its complexity and
interconnectivity and help them become global citizens that lead
lives of consequence. Academics and practitioners in higher
education institutions around the world in many different
disciplines will find the thought-provoking conversation starters
and activities of help in encouraging students to take a multi- or
post-disciplinary approach to explore tourism from a values
perspective. Consultants and academics engaging community
stakeholders in capacity building will value its practical,
accessible information.
