Very relevant for me as I work in hospitality in East Africa, and see what is happening in Zanzibar happening on a grander scale on the mainland.

I'm really hoping to offer consulting services for all levels of providers in the tourism section East Africa wide. I look forward to seeing East Africa represented as one of the most sustainable destinations

Thank you so much Professor Flemming Konradsen and coursera.org for this perfect course that is related to my Masters's Degree (ecotourism). It is about seven years since I have been graduated, and I needed to review my knowledge. Coursera.org was a solution to cover my educational gap. However, I really enjoyed Professor Flemming Konradsen,s class.

Very interesting!! Zanzibar is a clear and sad example of what happens when Tourism is taken as a source of exploitation and consequently a weapon of destruction. It is not too late to introduce the changes that allow the sustainable development of the town as a tourist destination and an opportunity for the growth of the local economy. Thank you!!

Thanks to this course i have learn first a lot of places that i have never heard of before like Zanzibar, but also some problems that are similar than in my country with waste, mosquitoes, water scarcity etc., and with the specialists some possible solutions, that are really important.

the best choise that i made to restart studying was this course.

I'm very grateful and honoured by Coursera in giving me this opportunity to broaden the little knowledge I have about sustainable tourism...the quizzes were very tricky but in much reading you would be able to answer them correctly and I really like about it is the chances they give when you fail a quiz.

I'm happy to learn from Coursera ☺️

I had a real pleasure learning and going through this subject. It was really clear and the fact it was focusing on one destination, Zanzibar really helped me understanding the different issues linked to tourism as i think it would have been a bit more tough to get a global vision if it would have been focusing on diverse destinations.

I really enjoyed going through this course. In fact, there were many facts that i was unaware of before doing this course. This has changed my perspective of tourism and has made a responsible global citizen and tourist. Thanks to University of Copenhagen and Coursera for making it viable for environment-conscious people like me.

I really enjoyed this course. It was varied in the interaction with experts and well supported and researched. Presented in a clear manner and was relevant to the industry overall - focusing on sustainability but also making major cases for why the hospitality industry should be worried about these issues in specific examples.

Thanks to this course I have learned more than I expected about the real impact tourism can have on a given area, the consequences of mass tourism without legislative limits on infrastructure development and law enforcement, as well as a new approach to my responsibility as a tourist when I travel out of my country.

Bastante bueno el curso que acabo de realizar. Atingente a las tendencias actuales en cuanto a impactos negativos propios del turismo y como a partir de una gestión sostenible de este, desarrollar mejoras considerables ante una industria sumamente sensible a efectos socioculturales, ambientales y económicos.

This was my first approach to sustainable tourism with an environmental health input and I found it really interesting. I want to keep learning about this topic which I find crucial in terms of tourism and the environment. Thanks Coursera & the University of Copenhagen for this amazing approach to the topic.

Very informative and at the same time very important for our planet. I recommend to anyone who is interested not only in tourism sector but also those who leave our planet dirty. Such consequences persist for a long time and it is necessary to pay attention to sustainable tourism as quickly as possible.

Thank you for the opportunity, was very interesting and I learned a lot about Zanzíbar and the environment. Thank you teacher for your time, and for speaking with your clear and soft voice for those of us who do not speak English as a mother tongue. The course was wonderful and I am happy I did it!

A really interesting introduction regarding the reality behind the tourism industry. Videos were really clarifying, readings so interesting.

I am thinking on starting something on tourism, and now, after this course, I will definitely apply some of the concepts learnt in this Course. Thanks

The course has useful information for freshers in tourism and those interested in knowing about Sustainable Tourism. I personally feel Sustainable Tourism should be mandatory for every tourist destination. People need to understand the importance of protecting the land that feeds them.

One of the best course I pursue during pandemic!! I would like to thank coursera and especially the resource person of this course. Sir I would really wish to meet you someday. Thank you so much for such an insightful and thoughtful sessions during the entire course. Thank you

I really enjoyed the course because I learned many things about sustainable tourism and all of the headlines were so useful and the case study (Zanzibar) was good one

just one thing if you considered it would be better, more discussions

btw thank you for the amazing course

It was really helpful to understand overall sustainable tourism industry and its urgent issues we are facing right now. Based on detailed case studies, latest research results, and in-depth interviews with scholars, Thank you so much for providing quality lectures.

Of course it has a very local approach but the principles can be applied to other (island) contexts. I think I leave with the satisfaction of a properly organized curriculum and would love to check out what else is available from the same institution and lecturers.

Um curso que me levou a muitas reflexões! Não conhecia Zanzibar. O estudo feito na região foi extremamente detalhado e qualificado. Trouxe informações e reflexões que podem ser aplicadas em diversos destinos turísticos.

O curso é bem estruturado.

Valeu muito a pena!

very happy that I completed this course. I am new business owner in the travel sector and taking this course was helpful. responsibility to educate myself, my staff, my guest, and urge local authorities to sustain a healthy environment is so crucial for future

Sencillamente excelente. Me sentí tan identificado con la situación de mi pais y como puedo contribuir a mejorar la situación del turismo, llevando a la practica todo lo aprendido en este curso. Recién termino este y ya estoy entusiasmado a continuar con otros.

This is a useful and enlightening course with plenty of good videos, statistics and cases with a plain narrative. It's a great introductory study that benefits career knowledge while suggesting important questions to ponder on and possible solutions to them.

The course provides a good understanding on Sustainable Tourism which is the need of the hour. It highlights the environmental problems mainly related to coastal tourism with reference to Zanzibar. These are problems also faced by many similar tourist areas.

It's really a great course which helps the young generation to work better towards the development of tourism in a sustainable way. Thank you for providing this course and I thank my college Manipal Academy of Higher Education for giving me the opportunity.
