The current global trends in tourism emphasize sustainable practices at destinations as part of contributing to building tourism destination resilience. As a precondition for success, all stakeholders need to be involved and benefit from tourism by considering the environment, residents/hosts, tourist travellers, and the local community at their tourism destination. 

This professional development course is developed to enable tourism and non-tourism operators to acquire knowledge and skills on how to manage tourism and non-tourism establishments (or organisations) in an environmentally sustainable manner.
