This 2014 spring semester I took a class called International Tourism. This class covered so much! I learned how to blog and communicate a topic of interest to share with the world. I know that nothing can be done and changed without awareness. I created a blog to share some facts about sex tourism in India because this is a topic I have a deep concern about and without awareness and spreading the word nothing can be done. Also, related to tourism, some don’t know the impact they make on a host community when traveling. Before traveling one can be aware and learn about a destination before traveling to it by checking online and doing some quick research.
I also got to learn more about a different culture and the struggles they deal with. I really had to open myself up and not judge just from the outside, but really research and dig deep into why their society is the way it is. I found where the problem began and the possibilities for change coming in the future.
In this class, I took a topic I cared about and learned how to campaign the topic publicly through social media, blogging, and even used photo editing skills to use imagery and create an infographic. These are all important elements to learn because they are real-life skills. Whether I market a huge profitable company or campaign a fundraiser, I know how to use social media to my advantage to get people to come to my pages to share and spread the word.
