research two (2) tourism destinations in the United States. These can be large (ex. Las Vegas, NV) or small (ex. Bozeman, MT).
It is important to choose one location that appears to you on the surface to be a destination that strongly embraces sustainable tourism principles, and then another one that does not.
examine these two destinations in depth and gauge their implementation of environmental, cultural and economic principles of sustainable tourism.
Final analysis should include any revelations of how the destinations operate and do or do not apply principles of sustainability in their efforts. Remember, focus on the principles of sustainability instead of the term “sustainable tourism.”
Sources/references and formatting requirements will be strictly graded.
Minimum seven (7) sources required. A maximum of two (2) sources can be the tourism office/chamber/city etc. website representing each location. Scholarly (textbooks or peer reviewed articles) strongly suggested.
