| 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.
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| The course methods include lectures and
interactive class activities. In the lectures the different
theories, models, and content of the readings are presented and
critically discussed. A selection of cases relating to tourism
supply, innovation and sustainability will be assigned with
interactive exercises in class. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| Continuous feedback forms a core part of this
course. Students will receive feedback during lectures in the form
of interaction with the teacher and during the exercises and
presentations conducted in class. This will be supplemented by
different tools, such as peergrade, to facilitate interactive forms
of feedback. Students further have the opportunity to receive
feedback during the office hours and they are encouraged to use
this time for both individual and group feedback. |
