グローバル教養科目（Introduction to Sustainable Tourism）
Introduction to Sustainable Tourism
Where would you like to go for your next holiday? Wherever you choose as your destination, you are entitled to visit there because everyone has the right to sightseeing. However, you may be unable to exercise this right due to harmful events such as pandemics, economic depressions, political turmoil, and natural disasters. We also must bear in mind that tourism may have detrimental impacts on our world. A dire consequence of mass tourism is overtourism, a situation in which excessive tourists negatively affect environment, culture, and society. How can we make tourism more sustainable? This is the question we address during this course.
The objective of this course is to explore the interrelationship between tourism and economic, environmental, and sociocultural conditions. The content of the course includes definitions of sustainable tourism, some cases of unsustainable tourism development, causes of unsustainable tourism, strategies for sustainable tourism, and best practices of sustainable tourism. Students who have never learnt about tourism are welcome because this course covers topics fundamental to the tourism discourse, such as authenticity. One of the expected learning outcomes is to propose a novel strategy to make tourism sustainable and resilient.
Sustainable Development Goals:
Targets of SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and SDG 14 (Life below water) explicitly mention their relevance to tourism.
Target 8.9: “By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products”.
Target 12.b: “Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable development impacts for sustainable tourism which creates jobs, promotes local culture and products”.
Target 14.7: “By 2030 increase the economic benefits to SIDS and LDCs from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism”.
However, many other SDGs are relevant to tourism. For example, tourism is a contributing factor in climate change (SDG 13).
