Megan Epler Wood, founder of The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), will start the new course, Global Sustainable Ecotourism Development , at the University of Vermont, July 12-16, 2010.
The course description says:
“Global Sustainable Ecotourism Development will look at the big picture of tourism development impacts and approaches to deliver low impact development. It will teach a holistic approach to planning and tourism development that reviews governments’ and international donors’ roles in rural land development, stressing bioregional planning as a key tool for governments and their donors to move rural areas into a more thorough process for sustainable regional development.”
