Problem
Identify and analyze the major social and environmental sustainability hot spots within the tourism industry.
Highlight the major unsustainable and irresponsible business practices of companies and firms operating within the industry.
More specially you need to address the significant negative impact the practices have on:
• The environment/planet e.g., high carbon omissions, extensive pollution (air, land, water), massive waste/ toxins build up, depletion of natural resources, excessive land clearing; extinction of animal and plant species, etc.; and
• People such as exploitation of workers, unfair trade practices, unsafe work practices, tax avoidance, health and wellbeing of people (consumers, vulnerable groups) and local communities. The news items you are reporting on should highlight the most significant environmental and social hotspots and provide evidence of the threat these unsustainable business practices place on the environment and people.
