Students explore the topic of globalization and how it relates to the tourism industry. Through the lens of global tourism, students examine political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental influences as well as languages, laws, cultures, histories and government structures of Indigenous people. Students assess the impact of globalization on tourism from the perspectives of global mobility and ease of travel, population and demographic trends, terrorism, safety and security, increased awareness of new destinations, and poverty.
