Obiettivi
International Tourism is one of the most dynamic industries in the global world; it produces a constant flow of innovation combining creativity, technology and sustainability. Different disciplines play their role in theoretical analysis, and new perspectives come from society.
The course aims to reflect this changing nature of tourism. It will focus on emerging trends: new travel styles or expanding niches.
