Study Australia Masterclass - Managing Tourism for Sustainability

Australia is recognised as a world leader in tourism research, especially in sustainable tourism. In this masterclass, Associate Professor Anne Hardy explores managing tourism for sustainable outcomes and discusses what we mean by ‘sustainable tourism’. Is it simply a fashionable phrase or something that can actually be achieved? How can research help? What innovations have come out of Australia that are helping the tourism industry around the world act in a more sustainable and responsible manner? In addition to exploring these questions and more, join Professor Hardy as she discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has given us time to pause, reflect and consider the future of tourism management in support of sustainable tourism.
