ASSESSING READINESS TO OFFER NEW DEGREE PROGRAMS

Assessing Readiness to Offer New Degree Programs is a supplemental campus-based document that will a) Inform the academic program development process and b) Illustrate the unit’s readiness to offer the proposed degree program.

The proposing unit is expected to a) Submit the assessing readiness document with the proposed program’s planning document and b) Update the assessing readiness document as unit conditions change for submission with the proposed

program’s request to establish.

Part One: Assessing Need for the Program

Units should provide detailed information regarding linkages to the strategic plan and the impact of the proposed program on other unit programs on the UNC-GA planning and establishing documents.

Need for the Program What is the external need for the proposed program? Project the current and future need for

graduates with this degree at the regional, state, and national levels.

There is ample external need for the proposed Master of Science in Sustainable Tourism (MS-ST). At no time in history has the demand for higher education degrees by employers been greater than it is today. This has resulted in a large increase in the number of students enrolling in master’s degree programs across the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of students pursuing master’s degrees is projected to increase by 9% over the next nine years; rising from 502,000 in 2004 to 556,000 in 2013. The demand for advanced degrees in tourism is no exception. In fact, tourism, the third largest retail industry in the United States, is increasing rapidly and in great need of well-trained and educated managers as well as competent researchers and educators.

Why focus on sustainable tourism? Tourism is a unique industry as it requires people to move to their destination rather than moving a product to the marketplace. It is arguably the largest industry in the World and has tremendous impact on the environment through its demand for, and use of, energy, water, and natural resources. Over the years, the growth of tourism has been powered mainly by fossil fuel which comes at an increasing environmental cost. This in turn threatens the long-term health of tourism businesses and pristine environments throughout the World.

On another front, climate variability and seasonality affects an often vulnerable tourism industry through its impact on business operations, community economies, and tourist travel behavior. Unfavorable climate conditions compel businesses to shorten traditional profit-making seasons, and in some cases raise prices or invest in alternative business activities to help cover economic losses. For example, prolonged periods of rainfall negatively influence tourist willingness to go whitewater rafting, camping, or golfing. And historically, below average snowpack and streamflows lowers revenue generated by snow and water-based recreation industries in comparison to wet years. Poor snowpack conditions in some years also increase operational expenses for snowmaking at ski resorts, contributing to increases in lift ticket prices.

Considering the impact that seasonal climate variability already has on tourism, projected impacts tied to rising temperatures threatens the long-term livelihood of many tourism industries across North Carolina and beyond. Local communities dependent upon tourism are impacted by climate variability and change both seasonally and annually and are challenged in their efforts to retain stable business activity and permanent residents throughout the year. Real estate, particularly vacation or second homes, has become an important factor in local economies over the past twenty years to the extent that local residents are increasingly pressured economically to move away from resort centers due to rising real estate prices in immediate surrounding areas. Arguably, the future of resort economies in the face of a highly variable climate might lie in high-dollar residential and retirement communities.

There is not a sector of the tourism industry today that is not embracing sustainable practices in an effort to save money, increase profits, or simply because it is in the best interests of the local, national and world

1

environment. Such practices include management and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, reduction of solid waste and water consumption, wastewater management, conservation and management of energy, ecosystem and biodiversity conservation, land use planning and management, air quality protection, preservation of social norms and cultures and provision of economic benefits to local and indigenous communities, responsible purchasing and training and education in sustainability for employees and clients.

The University of North Carolina Tomorrow Commission notes in its draft summary of recommendations (p. 1) that the UNC should embrace sustainability as a core value, leverage its faculty research expertise to address critical environmental and energy issues, and increase community awareness of environmental and sustainability issues. The draft report goes on to note that the UNC should prepare its students for successful professional and personal lives in the 21st century equipping them with the tools they will need to adapt to the every-changing (sustainable) world.

Global tourism (both domestic and international) is a US $7.1 trillion industry and one of the largest and fastest growing employment markets internationally, employing over 231.2 million people worldwide. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism is projected to continue rapid growth and will likely realize a forecast of US $13.2 trillion industry impact by 2017, employing 262.2 million people. These increases mean there is a need for more, and better, educated managers in the tourism industry.

The U.S. tourism industry is one of America’s largest retail industries with an estimated $699.9 billion in total expenditures, employing 7.5 million people (Travel Industry Association of America). Recent surveys and forecasts confirm that tourism will continue to be one of the fastest growing industries within the United States. There is reason to expect by 2010, tourism expenditures in the U.S. will be over $700 billion and produce over 8 million jobs.

Nationally, North Carolina is ranked 6th behind California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania in person-trips, generating approximately $15.4 billion in expenditures annually with employment approaching 200,000 employees. The North Carolina Department of Commerce considers the tourism industry one of the most rapidly growing industries in the state and predictions infer that North Carolina’s tourism industry will grow faster than the national average.

With these numbers in mind, the tourism industry is receiving considerable attention at all levels. Tourism, for example, offers extremely large numbers of highly attractive career positions that require sophisticated conceptual and technical skills and/or managerial training and education. These career positions are attractive in two very different ways. First, they provide challenges equal to those in virtually any other industry. Second, the nature of tourism means that many of these careers are in very attractive physical settings and placed amongst people who generally like to see others enjoy life.

The current and future need for graduates with a MS-ST at the regional, state, and national levels is conclusive. Tourism is, by its very nature, a multidisciplinary phenomenon. Economic, psychological, societal, technological, legal, and political forces influence the tourism experience. The disciplines of management, psychology, economics, business, geography, recreation, hospitality, sociology, law, history, marketing, planning, policy, and the physical sciences are but a few of the disciplines that have a direct connection with the tourism industry. Sustainable tourism is absolutely critical today in contributing to a balanced and healthy economy by generating tourism-related jobs, revenues, and taxes but such tourism must protect and enhance a destination’s social, historical, cultural, built, and natural resources for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors. Currently, tourism-related companies and small businesses are incorporating new scientific technologies specific to energy, climate, water, and natural resources as well as government agencies at state and federal levels increase their awareness on sustainability in the tourism industry. At the federal level, the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and Bureau of Land Management, among others, now support personnel, initiatives, and offices dedicated to the implementation of sustainable measures within their products and services. It is anticipated, therefore, that a positive market exists for graduate students with a Master of Science Degree in Sustainable Tourism (MS-ST) from East Carolina University (ECU). In a study completed for the Parks, Recreation, Tourism, and Leisure Studies Curriculum Chairs Annual Meeting, 2005, the only enrollment showing a steadily rising tendency in the past five years among undergraduate students has been in the field of “Recreation, Tourism, and Parks”. (Please see Figure 1 at end of Part V.) Additionally, with the University of

2

02-01-08

North Carolina’s several institutions of higher education offering undergraduate tourism-related courses, it is foreseeable that many will matriculate to ECU for this specialized graduate level program. Furthermore, many of the community colleges in North Carolina have travel, tourism, and hospitality programs increasing the demand for instructors holding graduate degrees. Due to the special emphasis on sustainability and the uniqueness of this degree program, there will be considerable national interest. Sustainable tourism, an area that ECU can take the lead in graduate education due to its many excellent resources, is critical to the success of any tourism economy at the local, state, domestic, or global level.

The “Who, What, and Why” we need MS-ST graduates from East Carolina University:

1. Recent graduates from undergraduate programs who want to pursue careers in tourism management with a focus on sustainability;

2. Students seeking a master’s degree program in tourism that offers in-depth knowledge regarding administration, management, and leadership in public and private (non-profit and for-profit) entities;

3. Undergraduates enrolled in tourism programs in other states or internationally seeking broader opportunities in the tourism industry;

4. Degreed instructors filling faculty positions within community colleges as well as college/university institutions;

5. Well-qualified individuals to preside in lead positions in tourism-related enterprises, i.e., local tourism offices (every county in North Carolina has a tourism director or a person responsible for local tourism) and positions within the State of North Carolina;

6. Professionals currently working in the tourism industry who want to advance and accelerate their careers;

7. Persons seeking alternative careers either due to new interests or forced by the changing economic landscape in North Carolina;

8. Individuals who are interested in transitioning from their current area of employment to tourism (i.e., corporate sector, non-profit associations, research, etc.);

9. Researchers interested in expanding their knowledge about new topic areas and emphasis in tourism; and

10. Entrepreneurs who are seeking to establish new businesses or services in the fast-growing tourism industry.

What are the expected enrollment patterns for the proposed program over the next five years; what is the enrollment target within five years of establishment? What evidence is there that the proposed program and this unit can attract quality students?

Students from a wide range of disciplines from within ECU, the state university system, and from universities throughout the country and internationally will be attracted to this program. These disciplines include recreation and leisure studies, hospitality management, environmental studies, various business disciplines, economics, geography, sociology, history, planning, and information technology.

02-01-08

There are several reasons to believe this new program will attract quality students. The program is unique and thus marketable as it is timely, interdisciplinary, addresses an important societal and global need, and will result in good job placement for graduates. Faculty members are already in place who are recognized as national and international tourism leaders. Several ECU students currently enrolled in above mentioned programs and recent graduates of ECU have expressed their interests in continuing their studies in the tourism field. They see the purpose of the MS-ST as beneficial to their goals and to North Carolina, as well as having national and international implications. Additionally, inquiries have been received from non-ECU graduates interested in a graduate-level tourism program as they have learned that ECU is exploring this option.

Comparison to Similar Programs in Other Universities How common is this type of program nationally and what about the proposed program would enable it

to particularly stand out from the others? What would it take to become a nationally recognized program in this area?

The proposed MS-ST at ECU shares no commonality with any other graduate program in the tourism field in the country due to its focus on sustainable tourism; nor does it share commonality with any of the University of North Carolina constituent institutions or in any in-state private institutions for the same reason. University of North Carolina - Greensboro and North Carolina State University have graduate tourism courses and programs but they are within parks and recreation degree offerings. North Carolina Central University’s degree is a master’s in business administration with a concentration in hospitality and services management. As such, they do not have the interdisciplinary breath of the degree proposed here or the clear focus on sustainable tourism. The closest university program with related courses to the proposed MS-ST is located at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. at the International Institute of Tourism Studies in the School of Business and Public Management. The University of South Carolina at Columbia has a Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management program largely aimed toward resort and club management, tourism marketing, and hospitality education. The College of Charleston has a small Hospitality and Tourism Management program in its School of Business and Economics. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has a large hospitality and tourism management program with a major focus on hotel administration and food service management. The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management at Temple University has a well-known Sport and Recreation Management graduate program and is currently building on a substantial program to confer a Master of Tourism and Hospitality Management. Florida International University has some tourism courses that relate to the proposed MS-ST but not a full graduate degree program. The University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Travel Industry Management curriculum contains a graduate tourism program as does The University of Central Florida but neither have a focus on sustainable tourism. While U.S. universities have been slow to recognize the significance of graduate programs in sustainable tourism, Europe and Australia have been moving in that direction. These programs may not specifically include “sustainable tourism” in all of the course titles but do contain an environmental focus. For example, the University of the Balearic Islands, Spain has a sustainable tourism related program titled: Master and PhD Program in Tourism and Environmental Economics.

As already mentioned, a graduate degree highlighting tourism development and management, most specifically sustainable tourism, is not currently a dedicated offering at any higher education institution within North Carolina. Eastern North Carolina and the State of North Carolina are good marketplaces for a sustainable tourism management program due to its proximity to, and linkages with, varied multitude sustainable tourism products. This degree will substantially increase exposure of current faculty’s scholarly strengths and attract top quality students as the MS-ST program matures into the growing realm of sustainable tourism, inclusive of rural tourism, tourism marketing, and tourism management. As mentioned previously, and because of a interdisciplinary approach to the MS-ST, faculty support is robust and their contribution for the most part can occur as an extension of current teaching and research interests.

ECU is in a unique position to take advantage of becoming a nationally recognized program due to the proposed degree structure’s concentration in sustainable tourism. There are more faculty members at ECU interested and engaged in sustainable tourism related courses than on any other campus in the UNC campuses. (Please see Figure 2 at end of Part V.) Perhaps the most exciting element of this concept is that its emphasis is in a relatively new field that is gaining state, national, and international attention. There is every reason to believe that a strong market exists for ECU graduate students and that ECU will quickly be recognized as a lead research and teaching institution in the field of sustainable tourism.

Accreditation Standards Are there accreditation standards or requirements that will affect this program? Is so, describe in detail

how the proposed program will meet those standards or requirements.

Currently there are no accreditation standards for a Master of Science in Sustainable Tourism degree as described herein at this time. However, because of current interests in such programs nationally and globally, it is conceivable that accreditation standards will be adopted in the future.

Part Two: Assessing Readiness of Current Faculty

Complete the Faculty Information Sheet (attached) for each individual who will serve as a core faculty member, actively involved in delivering the proposed program.

A Faculty Information Sheet (FIS) is attached at the end of this document on each individual who will serve as a core faculty member actively involved in delivering the proposed program.

Provide a summary of faculty readiness in the unit to include the cumulative totals of the following:o Number of core faculty at each rank who will be actively engaged in this program:

▪ Professor: 5▪ Associate: 5▪ Assistant: 4

o Number of core faculty with experience directing theses/dissertations: 11o Number of scholarly and professional activities related to proposed degree (with emphasis on

the past 5 years): 348o Number of publications related to proposed degree: 520o Number of grants & contracts submitted and awarded related to proposed degree:

▪ Submitted: 57▪ Awarded: 43

o Invited research presentations outside ECU: 106o Patents/disclosures/copyrights: 0o Participation in scholarly collaborations with other universities, laboratories, & centers: 22o Service on related national/international boards or committees: 47

Part Three: Assessing Adequacy of Instructional/Research Facilities and Personnel to Support the Program

Instructional and Research Facilities Describe existing space and specialized equipment to be devoted to the proposed program within the

context of the space and equipment currently assigned to the unit/s.

The space to be utilized in the delivery of this program will come from current allocation of space within participating colleges/departments. The following list is intended as an example of one college’s physical classroom space that the program would draw upon. (Classroom space from the Colleges of Health and Human Performance, the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Business will also be utilized).

Rivers 271 65Rivers 273 65Rivers RW 105A 128

In regards to specialized equipment, this need will be fulfilled through the resources of the participating units within the respective colleges/departments.

How will assignment of this space to the proposed program impact existing programs?

The space, labs, and offices currently used for delivery of undergraduate and graduate programs within collaborating colleges/departments will be utilized. Since the majority of the courses are currently being taught within the participating colleges/departments, there is a consensus that adding students to these classes will not present a crisis in terms of space. This is not intended to imply that additional classroom space won’t be needed as the program grows beyond the initial five year enrollment predictions.

Describe additional facilities or specialized equipment that would be needed over the next five years.

Specialized equipment can be obtained through research contracts and/or grants and gifts. Additionally, equipment needs will be filled within the normal ECU departmental request cycle specific to equipment and research support programs. Examples include updating of computers, software, and supplies.

Describe current holdings in library resources in the proposed program and projected library resources needed to support the proposed program.

Joyner Library is prepared to support the further development of the tourism curriculum as proposed. Ongoing discussions between library personnel and the participating colleges/departments and NCCST display their commitment that appropriate resources are available for students, faculty, and partnering agencies to support research, programmatic, and grant needs.

Books:The Joyner Library Catalog lists more than 1,800 volumes in the general Library of Congress Classifications of G154.9 - G155.5 (Travel and Tourism), GV188-GV200.66 (Leisure and Tourism), and TX901 - TX946 (Hospitality and Tourism). In addition, the library supports a strong business program, as well as an extensive curriculum in recreation and leisure studies, and a PhD level program in coastal resources management that contains a tourism component. The materials purchased for these areas are fully applicable to the tourism program. A subscription to the publications of the Travel Industry Association of America is under consideration, and would provide current national research for faculty and students working in this new program (estimated cost $2,000 yearly).

Journals:The Library lists in excess of 60 journal titles (in print and electronic format) directly relevant to tourism. Tourism is also served by a rich collection of business, recreation, leisure, and travel journal titles (largely in electronic format). Databases:Electronic databases providing access to the literature include Hospitality and Tourism Complete, which covers scholarly research and industry news relating to all areas of hospitality and tourism from 1965 to the present. Additional databases that contain hospitality and tourism coverage are ABI-Inform (business), Sport Discus (recreation), and general article databases such as Academic Search Premier and Proquest Research Library, each containing articles on travel, hospitality, and tourism.

Government Documents:Joyner Library is a 79% depository for U.S. Government Documents. This includes (but is not limited to) publications from relevant agencies as the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Forest Service. Joyner is also a depository for North Carolina State Documents, including publications from the North Carolina Division of Tourism, Film, and Sports Development, the North Carolina Department of Commerce, the North Carolina Department of Cultural

6

02-01-08

Resources, and the North Carolina Department of Environment & Natural Resources and global publications, such as ones available from the World Tourism Organization. Human Resources:Joyner Library has assigned a permanent reference librarian to oversee the collection development and bibliographic instruction needs of the faculty and students. This will ensure that appropriate tourism materials are purchased over time, and that the students and faculty in the program are aware of the relevant resources available to them.

Describe the adequacy of unit computer resources. If additional resources are needed, give a brief explanation and an estimate for the cost of acquisition. Include classroom, laboratory, and other facilities that are not currently used in the capacity being requested. (Collaborate with ITCS to determine feasibility of adding these resources, particularly in the areas of mainframe computer usage, networking requirements, statistical services, network connections, and student computer labs.)

It is not anticipated that additional unique IT resources will be needed beyond those necessary to meet the needs of participating colleges/departments and they have expressed a commitment of said resources to contribute to the pool. Additional classroom, laboratory, and other facilities not currently used in this capacity are at the discretion of university space limitations at this time. Personnel

What additional personnel would be needed to make the proposed program successful for growth and development over a five-year period?

It is the intent to draw from existing teaching faculty and existing courses (but with additional focus on sustainability), to be offered within this degree program. The North Carolina Center for Sustainable Tourism’s (NCCST) strategic plan calls for an Associate Director for Academics to oversee the graduate program; this person will need the support of an administrative assistant to cover the administrative demands of a quality graduate program. Since the program draws upon existing faculty in several departments with existing full schedules and advising responsibilities, an Associate Director is clearly needed to recruit and advise students and to manage all related academic administrative activities including course scheduling. In addition, this person must build and support an active Tier I University research agenda and accommodate the research and external funding production of center affiliated faculty. The Associate Director will work under the supervision of the Director of North Carolina Center for Sustainable Tourism, who is a tenured full professor in the College of Business.

Faculty needs: Initially there is adequate faculty to construct and deliver select aspects of the proposed degree program. Currently, two of the colleges involved in the development and curriculum offerings in the MS-ST are conducting searches to hire new faculty members; although they will not be dedicated tourism scholars, they may possibly possess some competency in sustainable tourism. Over the next five years as the program develops and expands, additional faculty will be needed to both teach courses and conduct appropriate research. Two new jointly appointed faculty will be needed starting in the second year of the program when it is estimated that 22 students will be enrolled. New joint faculty positions interspersed in select departments would be needed as follows: 1 in the third year, 1 in the fourth year and another 1 in the fifth year. This would amount to five new faculty members in place to support the program in five years. Some additional faculty support may become available through partnering departmental faculty hires as a residual result of growth in the programs already in existence.

Post-doc associates: Participating departments/programs to determine, as needed. Research technicians: Participating departments/programs to determine, as needed. Graduate assistants: In order to effective recruit and retain excellent students, graduate

assistantships will be needed for the program. While new grants, contracts, and gifts could support a number of students over time, assistantships will be needed for the program at its onset. It is estimated that eight graduate student assistantships will be required in the first year with an additional seven needed in the second year. Fifteen assistantships would provide a base for successful recruitment and provide about half of the support needed for a program of nearly 30 by the fourth year of program development. It is also critical that the program have access to at least six out-of-state remissions awards to assist incoming students with out of state tuition costs. .

7

02-01-08

Other staff: As stated above, it is anticipated that there should be one FTE administrative support position added before the onset of the program.

As the program matures over the five year time period, there may be need for an additional part-time faculty member who can address various specialized needs.

What will be needed to recruit such individuals and what is the recruitment market like?

Current regular recruitment procedures will be utilized including targeted mailings to departments and advertisements in the Chronicle of Higher Education as well as in specific discipline publications. It is expected that in the future there will be considerable competition for obtaining quality faculty in this fast emerging field. Financial support will be needed to fund the recruitment expenses for the proposed Associate Director for Academics and faculty hires.

Part Four: Assessing Financial Resources to Support the Program

Describe existing financial resources to be devoted to the proposed program.

There are no substantial financial resources currently dedicated to this degree program. What is available is the identification of faculty with expertise appropriate to establishing and moving this program forward. These faculty members initially would come from the Departments Hospitality Management, Recreation and Leisure Studies, Geography, and Economics, and the College of Business. Direct financial resources to support the program would come available through tuition paid by graduate students, and through new grants, contracts, and gifts.

Describe what additional financial resources would be needed over the next five years and their proposed sources of funding.

Additional funding will be sought from the tourism industry and secured through special fundraising efforts for scholarships and internships for students. As the student population grows, it should justify increases in the various departments’ contributions to the proposed program. Proposed sources of funding that are anticipated generate from the Graduate School increasing remissions and GA funding as appropriate. Also necessary is a commitment from Research and Graduate Studies to support the two positions of Associate Director for Academics and the administrative support person. It is viable that tourism industry members would gift corporate sponsorships to provide faculty positions, student scholarships, and/or related training materials/special equipment. Faculty members remunerated for special projects/papers may choose to donate earnings to the program.

What new financial resources will come to the university based on the projected increase in enrollment?

As the program increases so will scholarly activity, in the form of grants/contracts per se, that faculty and students will secure to provide a variety of hands-on learning experiences. Increased enrollment will increase state funding dollars as designated by the State.

Will the program students contribute to the financing of the program through teaching, research, and clinical practice?

Students enrolled in this degree program will indirectly contribute to the financing of the program via community-based and academic-based research and programmatic assignments.

What are your plans for the program if the financial resources anticipated for the program (enrollment, external support, etc.) are 25% lower and 50% lower than expected?

8

02-01-08

If the financial resources for the program are 25% lower than anticipated, the degree program Faculty Advisory Committee will immediately evaluate this situation to determine the right course of action. If the financial resources for the program are 50% lower than anticipated, again, an assessment will be made as to the viability of offering this degree program.

Part Five: Assessing External Support and Collaboration

List active grants/contracts specifically related to the proposed program.

Faculty members currently engaged in the development of this degree program are also active in pursuing external funding to support their work. Current or recent sources of research funding include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Sea Grant, and the National Science Foundation.

Describe existing collaborative efforts related to the proposed program with community or state agencies, other institutions of higher education, federal laboratories or agencies, national centers, or other external organizations.

There have been on-going collaborative efforts with local, regional, and state tourism, hospitality, and recreational agencies for a number of years that will be aggressively expanded as this program unfolds. As students progress through this degree they will contribute to collaborative efforts with businesses, companies, and policy oriented organizations in order to learn, to provide services, and to conduct research of an applicable nature. It is expected that collaborative projects will emerge with other institutions of higher education, centers focusing on tourism issues, or other related external organizations.

Several colleges/departments at ECU previously collaborated to host two regional tourism conferences in Greenville. This included the four colleges supporting this program in addition to support from the Regional Development Institute, Small Business and Technology Development Center, the Entrepreneurial Initiative, and other academic units which worked together to sponsor the conferences in 2004 and 2006. In addition, support was received from tourism destinations associations and government-based groups/persons (i.e., the Pitt-Greenville CVB).

How do you plan to use external funding to support the proposed program? To what agencies or programs would proposals be submitted and with what timeframe?

o What indications are that the proposed program addresses significant problems of stated interest to funding agencies?

o How well does the proposed program align with state and national initiatives as stated by the indicated governmental agencies?

o How well does the proposed program align with state and national initiatives as stated by the indicated foundations or other non-governmental sources?

o What kind of university investments will be needed to leverage external support and over what time period?

External funding will largely be used to fund student scholarships, faculty research, and student participation in professional activities. Each department contributing to the MS-ST currently has relationships with Federal and State agencies of commerce, parks, cultural affairs, agricultural, and economic development to name a few. In addition, corporations such as American Express, Aramark Corporation, the J. Williard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation, American Hotel and Lodging Educational Foundation, and other foundations have given generously to tourism programs. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts have sponsored research and development grants in tourism. Contracts for services have provided some previous funding and there is reason to expect more of this occurring. In addition, many individuals are interested in ECU’s move into sustainable tourism studies and may be willing to support such an effort through support for student scholarships and/or faculty resources. Major university investments most likely will not be needed except where a donor might request a “match” from ECU to equal their contribution.
