Did you know that the tourism industry is one of the largest in the world? It faces many challenges, especially in taking on responsibilities to become more sustainable.
The social importance of tourism has grown significantly in recent decades.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism accounts for more than 9% of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and accounts for nearly 8% of global employment.
But tourism is more than a powerful economic force.
It is also closely linked to major global changes in culture, politics, technology, and the environment.
It affects the quality of life and well-being of people and regions and plays an important role in community, regional and urban development.
Putting sustainable tourism into practice benefits the entire community.
Join this program and learn about tourism developments and the interrelationships between tourism, the economy, society and the environment.
You will learn about the different types of sustainable tourism practices, such as ecotourism.
The effects of the Corona virus on the tourism industry There is no doubt that the tourism industry is being affected by the outbreak of the corona virus Covid-19.
How will we recover and fully recover? How does corona affect tourists and their behaviour? And how can we pick up after this? How do we take it from here? Since it is so relevant, we will address these questions in our tourism MOOCs and make room for this in our discussion platform and case studies.
Verified Track This program offers significant additional value for students on the Verified Track.
You will work with real life cases.
These are cases developed in collaboration with professionals working on inspiring developments in today's tourism.
By participating in a case, you will implement various approaches, share knowledge among team members and teachers, develop an international network, and most importantly, rethink a tourism development of your interest.
