| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
This course aims to provide students with tools, concepts and
theories to analyze the challenges that businesses encounter in
their provision of the complex and compound good that constitutes
tourism. The course combines different knowledge areas, including
people management, corporate social responsibility and destination
management, to engage students in a critical debate on how to
situate sustainability at the center of industry practice. Looking
at the evolving tourism industry, students will develop a fuller
understanding of the different demands and challenges that arise in
the planning, development and delivery of tourism. Case studies
will ensure students appreciate the relevance of the material to
the current industry trends.
