This assignment is an opportunity to look inward and reflect on HOW YOUR BACKGROUND AND VALUES may impact the decisions you make and the way you approach and prioritize different pillars of sustainability.
For example, my mother is Austrian and I spent much of my childhood there. The social system and HEAVY prioritization on environmental issues meant I too had a tendency to prioritize environmental issues over others when analyzing policies and projects. It was not until my time and work in Guatemala and Mexico where I saw the first hand the role tourism plays in social issues (from poverty alleviation to social disruption) that I began to rebalance my approach to ensure that I was addressing social issues as well. I recognize, that on some level, this will be a superficial activity, barely skimming the surface of the normative nature of sustainable development, but this exercise of reflection which must refer to and derive its main context from the paper titled “A systemic framework for sustainability assessment” is an opportunity to begin to recognize our personal perspectives and how they affect what we come to the table with. Let’s avoid a naval-gazing approach, and dig as deep as we can with limited experience in this exercise in order to become at the very least more aware of our individual perspectives!

Assessment Content
of learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3.
Based on the achievement of learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3.
This assessment requires you to conduct a piece of research based on a topic that you will select in week 2 related to a geographical site and how to promote their unique culinary products and culture via a blog that you will create. In this work you need to fully focus on the topic that was agreed upon with your tutor but more importantly apply the concepts we have seen throughout the module. This research will culminate into a personal blog to be presented to your tutor and classmates in week 9/10.This research will mean that you need to read widely on the topic and to collect a range of references that will also underpin your work. You are advised to start working immediately on this project. Your blog should basically follow the following format:
• Title
• About me
• Aims and Objectives – what is going to be elaborated in the blog?
• Your recommendations for local attractions or places of interest to visit
• The design and user friendliness of your blog will be part of this assessmentcomponent
(see assessment criteria for detailed information)
• Recommend three options for places to stay – affordable, mid-range and luxury. Make sure
there is clear information on how to get there and what type of transportation would you
recommend and what budget is required (room prices etc.).
• Where would locals send you to eat? – follow the same format as the recommended options
for places to stay (3 options) and make sure there is a link between them (affordable
accommodation – cheapest food options, prices, how to get there etc.).
• Your presentation, design and your user-friendly blog will be part of this assessment
component (see assessment criteria for detailed information).
Your blog will be made on wix.com and should contain the content listed above but it canbe extended in imaginative ways if desired. It should be clear and concise with correct use of English and Harvard style referencing as needed. You will be given a virtual space to display your blog and will be expected to present your design and to answer questions from both your tutor and other students. For submission, you will paste screenshots of each section of your blog into a document and submit it via Blackboard.

You are encouraged to use creative titles for the above-mentioned pages.

Certainly!
“Exploring the Unexplored: Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations” delves into the realm of lesser-known travel destinations that are away from the typical tourist routes. The question aims to explore the allure and significance of these hidden gems and their appeal to travelers seeking unique and authentic experiences.
The question might prompt discussions on various aspects such as:
What defines an off-the-beaten-path destination?
What are the advantages and challenges of visiting such destinations?
How do travelers discover these hidden gems?
What impact does tourism have on these less-traveled locations, both positive and negative?
How can travelers ensure responsible and sustainable exploration of off-the-beaten-path destinations?
What are some examples of memorable experiences or encounters in these destinations?
Overall, this question encourages exploration of unconventional travel experiences and fosters dialogue on the importance of diversity and authenticity in tourism

I’m working on a tourism writing questions and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Write a response that addresses the following:
question 1 :
Make two suggestions that a major hotel in a mass tourism destination (think about the type of holiday a tourist at a mass tourism destination would demand) could make to curb the amount of waste produced. For each suggestion you must address the trade offs, and positive or negative cascading effects of this action (and how to mitigate negative ones).
In this, as in all your assignments, it is fundamental that you demonstrate a grasp of the module’s content as well as an ability to link the systems to each other (as we move through each module). Additionally, you should link your discussion to the key concepts.
question 2:
I am going to refrain from giving you a very specific question this time, allowing you to choose how and what you want to take from the movies/readings. Topic for this question is : I chose ((ILinkage between food production and tourism in the world ))) this topic was mentioned one of the readings given to us, So at the beginning of the question so you can say that “I chose this topic because it was discussed in one of the readings” Length: all questions minimum of 500 words , each question minimum 250 words

Cites sources in APA or MLA format

Hello Professor,
I was a manager at a loan company some time back. We only offer loans to people in our local area. We had a customer who took out a loan and was expected to pay monthly installments. She defaulted on the loan and didn’t pay us for months. When we called her trying to collect she would always tell us that she wasn’t working and didn’t have income at that time but would make a payment as soon as she could. Our company would still run her card every could of weeks for the full payment due back. We had sent notices to her home and got them returned with no forwarding address. We knew she moved after calling her mother when we couldn’t get her. One month we ran it and got the full amount paid in full! We got so excited that we were able to close that account. The next afternoon, she called and wanted us to stop payment. She said it was her first check and that it was meant for her rent. As much as I wanted to help, I couldn’t. She wanted to rewrite the loan so she could at least have some of the money for the rent. Unfortunately, Company policy prevents us from writing a loan to those out of our area. Here is my response.
Good day, Donna,
I understand the situation at hand has left you in a bind. I send my deepest sympathy for the stress that was caused by this inconvenience. While our store is unable to write you a loan at this time, I can send you the information for our sister store in the area where you are currently residing. Please make sure that you call them to set up an appointment to take in your new documentation. We would like to thank you for your business and hope to work with you in the future.
Best regards,
I chose this problem-solving method because it was an easy fix to lead her where she needed to be led when I could no longer help her. It doesn’t leave her feeling helpless and gives her a chance to redeem herself.
Jamie
