The Master's Degree Program [LM] in 'Valorization of Territories and Sustainable Tourism' trains high-profile and specialized figures capable of assessing criticalities and potentialities of territories and providing concrete elements to implement local development and valorization policies. The course was designed taking into account consultations with stakeholders working in various capacities in the field of tourism. The professional figures are: geographer, editor for technical texts in geography and tourism, planner and specialist territorial mediator. The training of said figures takes place through a course that is developed in three areas of learning: geographic theories and models; interdisciplinary knowledge; and methodologies and techniques of communication languages. In particular, the LM trains a professional figure capable of managing the processes of interaction between the tourism and cultural systems of the territory, with the local, national and international tourism market. It provides advanced theoretical-practical skills in the field of territorial analysis and representation aimed at the potential and effective enhancement of the territory with respect to the objectives of tourism sustainability and local environmental and cultural dimensions. The interdisciplinary training, which characterizes this LM, reflects a holistic approach to socio-economic and territorial phenomena related to the sustainable development of tourism systems.

Italy is the country with the largest number of archaeological sites and buildings housing works of art, but other tourist destinations are making their mark thanks to their natural beauty and effective business policies. It is no longer enough to rely on what nature has to offer or the vestiges of our ancestors: it is necessary to enhance what we possess and propose it with new interpretations while safeguarding the territory and its inhabitants.
