At the end of this course, students should have a better understanding of the importance of the tourism industry to many economies, especially small economies within the Caribbean/CARICOM region. It is therefore necessary that workers and potential workers in this industry understand the planning and organization processes of the industry so as to minimize threats and maximize opportunities. With the understanding that the essence of tourism involves the travel to places and the interaction with people, this course focuses on the planning and organization of the 'People and Place' aspects of the four marketing P's and the policies and issues facing these entities. |

This course introduces students to the key elements of vertebrate biology by examining the origins and evolution of the group and looking in detail at the unique characteristics of each of the five main classes of vertebrates.
The course adopts an integrated approach combining ecology, behaviour, physiology, and morphology to present a view of vertebrates as functioning systems. Adaptation to the environment is emphasised as is the diversity of body form and structure within each group. The economic significance of the various vertebrate groups is also examined in detail.
