Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to present and explore a sustainable tourism education model that employed Fair-Trade learning principles and experiential learning philosophies. In collaboration with universities in Mexico and the United States, the model employed an international tourism curriculum that explored issues concerning the environmental, economic, and cultural impacts of global tourism. Field experiences challenged students to think critically about tourism issues from various perspectives in order to gain a holistic understanding of the multidimensional issues. Students met with farmers, fisherman, hospitality providers, tourism outfitters, business owners, government officials, regional non-profits, and local citizens to gain a broader perspective. The summary observation of this paper found the model to be successful in promoting student learning and effective in building bridges across nations through the development of strategic partnerships. The lessons learned involved the importance of administrative support, the significance of faculty engagement, and the importance of building relationships.

搭建桥梁:国际可持续旅游教育模式综述
摘要本文旨在提出并探索一种采用公平贸易学习原则和体验式学习理念的可持续旅游教育模式。该模式与墨西哥和美国的大学合作,采用国际旅游课程,探讨有关全球旅游的环境、经济和文化影响的问题。实地体验挑战学生从不同角度批判性地思考旅游问题,以获得对多维问题的整体理解。学生们与农民、渔民、酒店供应商、旅游装备商、企业主、政府官员、地区非营利组织和当地公民会面,以获得更广阔的视野。本文的总结观察发现,该模式在促进学生学习和通过发展战略伙伴关系架起跨国家桥梁方面是成功的。学到的教训包括行政支持的重要性,教师参与的重要性,以及建立关系的重要性。
