Our natural ecologies today are in a state of crisis. Healthy<br />
economies and societies cannot continue to develop in a world<br />
with so much degradation of the environment and such large<br />
inequalities in the distribution of wealth and resources. Today,<br />
nations, businesses and humans worldwide need to respond to<br />
these complex and far-reaching challenges. An unprecedented<br />
challenge is posed – ensuring that economic development<br />
continues and expands, while at the same time dramatically<br />
reducing the environmental impact of that development.<br />
In this context, the hospitality and tourism industries face<br />
a particular challenge. A clean and healthy environment is<br />
critical to their continued prosperity, and these industries<br />
have a leadership role to play in husbanding environmental<br />
resources and in recognising that environmental management<br />
is product stewardship. In fact, in order to really ensure that<br />
sustainable tourism development can be achieved, the need<br />
for good practice extends beyond natural heritage to include<br />
cultural heritage issues.<br />
Sowing the Seeds of Change<br />
– An Environmental Teaching Pack for the<br />
Hospitality Industry<br />
has been developed in response to this challenge, when<br />
the partner organisations IH&RA, UNEP <strong>DTIE</strong> and EUHOFA<br />
identified a lack of information, expertise and practical teaching<br />
tools as the major concern when introducing environmental<br />
issues into the hospitality curricula.<br />
This publication is a complete information pack for developing<br />
and expanding environment curricula in hotel schools. It<br />
enables hospitality education professionals to develop tailormade<br />
environment curricula to suit the needs and objectives<br />
of each school and education system. The content is most<br />
suitable for developing syllabuses at the degree and<br />
postgraduate levels. This Pack can be used to develop standalone<br />
environment curricula or incorporate environmental<br />
information to existing subject areas such as front office and<br />
rooms, back office and administration, food and beverage,<br />
kitchen and tourism management. For students of hospitality<br />
management it will serve as an environment information and<br />
resource handbook. For hospitality professionals, it provides<br />
all necessary information for raising environment awareness<br />
and developing and implementing environment management<br />
systems.<br />
The IH&RA, UNEP <strong>DTIE</strong> and EUHOFA are delighted to have<br />
joined together in producing this publication, and warmly thank<br />
the many sponsors that have made this initiative possible.<br />
