About this Unit
This unit aims to explore the role of tourism in rural community development and the planning implications for communities when they adopt tourism as an industry. The unit's objectives are to: provide an understanding of - the growing role of tourism in rural community reconstruction and development; - the rural tourism destination in terms of products and services and the tourists who consume them; - the interface of tourism and sustainability in a rural context; - the paradoxes and oppositional forces at play in planning for tourism in a rural community.
