Resource planning methods

• The principles of effective workforce planning with three examples of what MicroTech Systems could do to identify skills demand (2.1)

Additionally, explore steps that can be adopted in the private and public sectors to mitigate the environmental impact of tourism. Is it possible for the private sector to gain from a more sustainable tourist model? Research Questions: 1. How does tourism impact the environment of coastal communities globally and regionally? 2. What is the public perception and attitude toward the environmental impact of tourism? 3. What can be done about the environmental impact of tourism, from the private sector to government programs, what has worked and what is being considered?
