The value of tourism and hospitality to a nation's economic success and viability cannot be overstated. This course will provide students an immersion into the dynamic and thriving tourism and hospitality industry. Concepts covered will include the reasons for tourism growth, the theories as to why people travel, the impact of tourists on culture, and tourism planning and development. Students will build on these concepts as they produce a dynamic and progressive destination analysis of Toronto to understand each sector's importance within the industry, and their interrelatedness. This will be achieved through a field excursion, guest speakers, professor-led lectures and activities, and student-led research.
