SDG 8 & 12 is sustainable tourism. The goal of sustainable tourism is to take into the consideration the environmental, social, and economic impacts of traveling and tourism, in order to minimize the negative effects as much as possible. In this presentation, my group and I went to separate locations in our area and talk about how tourists negatively or positively affected local businesses or the environment.

Social media continues to grow. It increasingly influences on many social and economic aspects. The tourism industry is primed to take advantage of social media
outlets, as the industry has long relied largely on destination reputation, consumer opinion, spread of information, and positive word-of-mouth advertising. Social media plays a very important role in the tourism industry.

Research on social media in tourism is still in infancy. While case studies focusing on qualitative discussion of the impact of social media in tourism are needed, it is critical to encourage the comprehensive investigation into the influence and impact of social media on all aspects
of tourism industry, and to demonstrate the economic contribution of social media to the industry.

Objectives of this mini unit:For students to explore the "universal call to action" laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and consider how they may respond to that call;Build background knowledge about specific issues impacting the Arctic including: indigenous rights, indigenous health, biodiversity, tourism and marine pollution; Build background knowledge about specific issues impacting their local communtiy (using Michigan as a case-study) including: hunger, homelessness, poverty, youth violence and the environment;Create an action plan to address needs within their local communities driven by their unique passions, interests and skills;Consider the importance of impact vs intention when engaging with community action projects

Introduces students to principles of sustainable tourism. Instruments for sustainable tourism development are examined in case studies (international, national, regional, and local). Methods and techniques that reconcile the different interests are discussed and applied in various contexts: urban vs. rural areas developed vs. less economically developed countries. Students gain an understanding of their role as leaders in managing a sustainable tourism business while addressing global sustainability issues such as poverty, climate change, globalization/localization, and environmental degradation.

Course Objectives:
1. Assess the scope and principles of sustainable development and sustainable tourism.
2. Identify challenges, weaknesses, and strengths of sustainable tourism within different geo-cultural contexts.
3. Recognize socio-cultural, environmental, and economic impacts of tourism at the individual, community, and greater society levels.
4. Develop and apply intervention strategies to mediate tourism development impacts identified.
5. Use course content to analyze plans, policies, and approaches currently being used to guide sustainable tourism development within multiple
contexts.
6. Recognize various stakeholder groups’ concerns about sustainable tourism development.
7. Apply principles of sustainable development in a case study evaluation.

This presentation introduces the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and discuss why development of sustainable tourism has become part of the global agenda. In continuation of this, we will discuss the global trends in tourism.

In this presentation, we will discuss the impacts of tourism on marine environment in Zanzibar. In continuation of this, we will discuss sustainable development challenges regarding small island environments. Among challenges are rapid growing populations, a constantly rising number of tourists, limited freshwater resources, and fragile marine ecosystem.

This presentation introduces the term “death by tourism” and discuss’ the impact of uncontrolled tourism on local communities. In continuation of this, we will discuss the importance of Certification of Sustainable Tourism and introduce the three types of Sustainability Certification schemes.

In this presentation, we will discuss how saltwater intrusion affects small islands freshwater supplies, and how tourism is a significant part of this. In Zanzibar fresh water for drinking and other purposes come from rain that replenishes the island’s groundwater reservoir and in many cases freshwater is a scarce resource. On top of this, the excessive pumping in groundwater for the tourist industry increases the risk of salt water seeping into the freshwater magazine from the sea, thereby destroying the freshwater resource.

In this presentation, we will discuss how tourism affects different local communities, including Zanzibar. A study from Zanzibar published in 2015 found that only 20 percent of the GDP generated by tourism occurred to local communities, so it seems possible to develop forms of tourism with greater benefits to the population of Zanzibar, including local population.

In this presentation we will discuss how tourism affects the daily water use in Zanzibar and how a significant water consumption, has the potential of undermining the sustainability of the tourist sector in Zanzibar. Zanzibar has a great water disparity with 15 times higher daily water use per tourist compared with local residents.

This presentation introduces the International Year for Sustainable Tourism for Development (2017). In continuation of this, we will present and discuss data from the World Tourism Organization.

In this presentation, we will discuss how tourism development affects the coral reefs and in continuation of this, we will examine the Crown-of-Thorn Starfish invasion around Zanzibar. Reefs sustain human society, such as fishermen's livelihood and they are also a key asset for the tourist industry. However, the reefs are also under pressure from a range of human induced stresses, including the expanding tourism.

This article is for students to teach them how to read English very well , with some exercises after they finished.

According to the international hotels in Zanzibar, it is difficult to find qualified local workers who speak good enough English and have the right experience and education. But is it, in fact, an excuse used by tourism industry leaders not to live up to their responsibilities?

Danish:
Ifølge de internationale hoteller på Zanzibar, så er det svært at finde kvalificeret lokale arbejdere, som taler godt nok engelsk og har den rette erfaring og uddannelse. Men er det i virkeligheden en undskyldning som turistbranchens ledere bruger, for ikke at leve op til deres ansvar?
