Animal welfare literacy in tourism: Ethics, human nature and dark truths
In efforts to broaden the landscape of responsibility and sustainability in tourism, a focus on animals has slowly but steadily taken root.

Professor David Fennell the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Ecotourism in this School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management research seminar.

David will discuss, why we create impacts in tourism, identify 'fails' in animal concern in practice, identify how ethics can help, and argue why animal welfare literacy can be a way out of this darkness.

The School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management host an ‘open’ research seminar series each year covering recent advances within the field. These have attracted speakers from universities across the globe to debate issues which affect the events, tourism and hospitality sector.

Professor David Fennell researches and teaches in the areas of ecotourism, tourism ethics, animal ethics, and sustainability ethics. His research involves the use of theory from other disciplines to gain traction on many of tourism’s most persistent issues. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Ecotourism.
