TADM 155 Leadership Perspectives: Voices from the Tourism Landscape allows students to engage directly with diverse tourism leaders—from Indigenous entrepreneurs and small ecotourism operators to resort managers and sustainability changemakers. Through guest speaker sessions, conversation, storytelling, interviews and reflective discussions, students will explore a range of leadership styles, business models and perspectives that shape the tourism industry today. Each voice offers a different lens on what it means to lead responsibly, inclusively, and ethically in today’s complex tourism landscape. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own leadership values, identify the kind of impact they want to have, and make meaningful connections between classroom learning and real-world stories.
