Tourism and Climate Change
Climate change is already having an impact on tourism destinations. Numerous small islands and coral reefs, for example, are threatened by devastating storms and sea-level rise. At the same time, other parts of the world are gradually becoming deserts as a result of chronic droughts and excessive water consumption by tourism.
As a result, this online course covers the key challenges tourism faces in the face of severe climate change. This Tourism and Climate Chang course will provide you with a solid understanding of how to best engage with future tourism issues within your organization. You will also discover your personal carbon footprint.
The MOOC concludes with a variety of possible future scenarios. And you will be invited to vote, based on which the teaching staff will refine the course content to best address emerging challenges. Importantly, you will be invited to participate in the debate platform on sustainable innovations both during and after the course. Because there is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on tourism, any Corona-related questions will be addressed throughout the tourism courses.
Whether you work in tourism, own a travel-related business, or are a travel enthusiast, join this MOOC project on the future impact of tourism if nothing changes. Contribute to the sustainability of tourism!
