4 Types of Tourism:

Responsible Tourism

Eco-Tourism

Ethical Tourism

Sustainable Tourism

What’s the difference between these types of tourism?

• Each student receives and reads the definition of one type of tourism.

• Students placed into groups of 4, with one rep. for each definition

• Each student explains to the group his/her def, and then writes key words, concepts, or main ideas on the group’s “Place Mat” (not in the circle)

• After each student has written and spoken, any similarities should be written inside of the circle (what do you have in common?)

• Share with the class

Global Code of Ethics for Tourism

• “the Code includes nine articles outlining the ‘rules of the game’ for destinations, governments, tour operators, developers, travel agents, workers and travelers themselves. The tenth article involves the redress of grievances and marks the first time that a code of this type will have a mechanism for enforcement.”

• A United Nations Agency (UNWTO)
