Section Title:
Study Abroad-Fiji Wintermester
Section Info:
This 2 week wintermester study abroad program, January 3-18, 2015, explores the ways that a developing country uses tourism as an economic development tool. Course material is delivered and assessed through educational travel in Fiji?s primary tourism market regions, presentations and seminars, coursework exercises, quizzes and reports. The experiential education focuses on learning through guided action. Students spend about 70% of their time visiting Fiji?s primary tourism attractions, including beaches, reefs, and resorts under the guidance of knowledgeable field professionals. The program begins in Nadi, and transits to Denerau Marina for a look at high-end development. It then visits several beach resorts in Mamanucas, and continues to the coral coast to examine eco-tourism development. From there it looks at the use of Fijian rivers for adventure tourism, after which a day is spent at the University of the South Pacific where experts and policymakers put Fijian tourism development into the context of the country?s overall development strategy. This is followed by further exploration of adventure tourism (Zip Fiji) and resort development (Mango Bay Resort). The uses and effects of traditional culture in the context of tourism development are then explored through a visit and stay at Votua Village. This is extended by a visit to Naviti Resort to further examine the ways that the resort links to that village. The uses of volunteerism for resort-based tourism, particularly eco-tourism are then examined in a visit to Barefoot Island. The program comes full circle by returning to Nadi via Deneau Marina, with projects, a final debrief, and evaluations taking place. Throughout the program, discussions of experiences and additional instructional material are provided by the accompanying faculty. Students must enroll in the fall semester course which meets weekly to outline and discuss course concepts and theories of international tourism and development.

Section Title:
Leisure & Cultural Diversity
Section Info:
We are all products of our own culture. We view the world in ways we have been conditioned and draw conclusions based on our own ethnocentric perspective. This course will challenge individuals to step outside their orientation by demonstrating how leisure is a central part of the human experience and that it can be used as a vehicle for increased awareness and appreciation of other cultures. We will celebrate the leisure experience by engaging in a series of artistic, sport, religious and recreation activities, developing cross cultural knowledge and skills, and examining critical issues and values associated with thriving in an increasingly global world community. First Year Discovery Program Course. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
