This free course invites you to explore the paradox of modern travel — whether tourism can be both responsible and sustainable. Through case studies, discussion, and reflection, you will start to unpack the social, environmental, and economic forces that shape global travel as we know it. By the end of the course, you will have a deeper understanding of tourism’s global impact and be ready to imagine how travel can better serve people, places, and the planet.
