| Description: | FRT-101-16: Globetrotting: The Footprints of Global Tourism. Sujata Saha is an Economist by choice and a foodie by passion. She loves to explore new places and cherishes painting as well as various forms of culinary arts. Life is a composition of continual changes; changes in place, in weather, in opportunities, and many more. Much of these changes come from travelling. With globalization and more opportunities for travel, people are moving across the globe a lot more than was once possible. Whether it's a quick weekend trip or a round-the-world trip, the adventure will do wonders to our lives and health. This freshman tutorial will introduce you to globetrotting at the local and international levels and we will discuss the multi-faceted nature (the aspects and footprints) of tourism. Travelling can be considered a significant socio-cultural, economic and political activity. Over the course of the semester, we will explore how tourism can be tied to numerous interdisciplinary perspectives; such as history and economics, the development of new destinations to meet increased demand, the psychological impact of globetrotting, the environmental impact of tourism, and the promotion of globalization through tourism generated by flows of people, ideas and resources. We will also examine the future trends in this field. So, welcome aboard the voyage! It is time to fasten your seat belts, seat back and enjoy the ride! |
