Sustainable Operations and Destinations Assignment
Assessment Task - Case Study Reflection
The Case Study 'Sorry Rocks and the Tourism of Regret' has been posted on the LMS. Student's response to this case will emphasise the following core themes:
Sustainability, Responsible Consumption and Managing Tourist Behaviour
Development and Management of Sustainable Destinations
Students will reflect on real-life operational responses to challenges encountered by destination managers. Aligned with each student's personal experience and/or knowledge, these reflections will form the verifiable assessment for task.
Task - Assessment: Using the key themes discussed in this subject, provide a self reflection on the following two questions:
1. Describe ways that your ideas and attitudes may have changed in regard to responsible tourism and respectful connections as expressed in Sorry Rocks and the Tourism of Regret. You may wish to express your ideas and attitudes by reflecting on the following:
- Whether you would have considered taking a souvenir of your visit - if so, would have considered returning a piece of "rock" - why or why not?
- How do you think that your cultural background, educational and life experiences would impact your decision?
2. Based on your experience and the core themes presented in Sustainable Destinations and Operations (THT2114) and using other relevant examples (including case scenarios presented in class) provide a short summary of the way that your overall attitude to sustainability and destinations management have developed and/or changed.
Personal Reflection Delivery Options - Task: The key criteria of your personal reflection and how it is delivered is that it must be verifiable (that is, that you have produced the work). Options include:
