Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management
View
The Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management looks at the driving forces behind the global tourism economy and how tourism can be compatible with the development of sustainable organisations, urban and rural development/regeneration, natural resource management, as well as the diversifying benefits from international and domestic tourism. It facilitates the development of skills and techniques to develop tourism policies and practices in a global setting and to manage tourism development and enterprises in the direction of more sustainable practice.
BTF5001 - Business Regulation and Compliance
View
The Business Regulation and Compliance unit introduces students to various regulatory concepts and theories and examines standard setting and enforcement mechanisms aimed at ensuring business compliance with those standards. These include legal standards, but also ‘softer’ standards and expectations with respect to responsible and sustainable business conduct. We look at traditional forms of state-based regulation and the roles of public regulators alongside the roles and regulatory capacities of other actors including NGOs and lead firms. Students are encouraged to consider the most effective ways of ensuring that business meets legally-prescribed standards and stakeholder expectations, including standards on environmental protection and labour and human rights.
