International Tourism Marketing
People
Course director
Description
Good tourism marketing starts with a great idea. The objective of the course is to develop a shared understanding of what makes an idea great – and how to implement it (via the so-called marketing plan).
To help us along, we use a variety of inter-disciplinary thought-pieces, which are as variegated as the background of participants of USI’s MSc. course in International Tourism. What holds it all together is an uncompromising fixation with practical application, feasible concreteness and environmental sustainability.
Participants who successfully followed this course will be in a position to turn (a) come up with a great idea, (b) effectively communicate this great idea to relevant stakeholders, and (c) produce a concrete plan for its implementation.

Understanding the marketing mix and the marketing plan as applied to an international tourism context.
