TADM 265 Liability & Risk Management examines the laws that shape Canada’s tourism and hospitality industry. Students analyze legal responsibilities and risk management strategies through the lens of responsible leadership practices to ensure safety, equity and operational integrity of those directly and indirectly associated with an operation. Through real-world case studies, students critique legal arguments and assess how operational policy supports or hinders culturally responsible tourism practices, with particular attention to the impacts on equity-recognized groups traditionally underserved in operations and communities.
