Question: 1.Students are required to compile a portfolio of articles covering current environmental issues that relate either directly or indirectly to tourism and hospitality. A critical analysis of how the issues contained in the article affect environmental management in hotels/attractions should accompany each article. Your analysis should not simply be a summary of the article, but an informed discussion of the issues raised and their importance to environmental management in hotels and attractions, using academic research to support your arguments. 2.Imagine the key elements of good ecological design and best environmental management practice for a hotel or attraction in fifty years time. Use your knowledge of the current trends in hotels and attractions, and likely challenges to life and business in the future, to design the perfect hotel or attraction.While this essay requires you to be visionary, use the relevant academic and perhaps also technical literature skilfully to make your case. You would first need to describe succinctly the likely world in fifty years time: economically,technologically, politically, socially and environmentally. While history shows us that we cannot know the future, paint a plausible picture; one scenario of the many possible.Remember that some things change rapidly while other things only change slowly.Consider what would be the possible best responses a business could make in order to meet the needs of the future visitor. Think in terms of both design and management.
