Assuming the role of a third party planning travel for an organization, how does the concept of theory of social constructivism affect your decisions? Cite at least one destination or event as an example that exemplifies your perspective. This week and the assignment last week reviewed the continued evolution of tourism and destination management with an eye towards preservation.
