The Social Enterprise Academy (The Academy) tackles social and environmental issues worldwide. It provides transformational learning and development programmes for individuals and organisations working for social change at both a local national and global level. This project will bring together twenty rural communities across Wales and Scotland all facing challenges in mitigating the negative impacts of tourism on their communities and help them come together to mitigate the challenges to their environment. This programme will also explore tourism models which are economically culturally socially and environmentally sustainable.
