This subject examines the positive and negative impacts of tourism on the physical,
economic and socio-cultural environment. It includes an extensive introduction to
key ecological theories and to a wide range of Australasian environments and the major
biophysical processes which structure them. Current models of tourism development
and its impacts are reviewed. Aspects of the legislative framework governing the interaction
between tourism and the environment are examined. Although the subject has an Australasian
emphasis, it takes an international perspective with examples from other parts of
the world. The subject is assessed with a final exam and a series of field-trip related
assessments culminating in a report on tourism and the environment.
