Tourism is one of the cornerstones of the development and revitalization of many Italian regions, particularly in Liguria, which in recent years, according to the REGIONAL TOURIST OBSERVATION, has a positive trend and continuous growth.
In particular, the teaching of TERRITORI DEL MADE IN ITALY AND SUSTAINABLE TOURIST SYSTEMS aims at providing some tools for the analysis of the link between territory and tourism.
The course provides a general knowledge of the approach of social geography to the phenomena of local development with particular attention to the tourism sector and to new styles of life related to leisure. Students at the end of the course acquire knowledge of the dynamics of the processes of territorial and local development on the basis of spatial models of the local systems in tourism and case studies.
The student will be able to analyze the image of the territory, both maritime/coastal and inland areas, in order to recognize the specificity of its cultural heritage and identify strategies for the development of integrated and sustainable tourism.
It will also develop skills in the use of the sea related to tourism and in tourism brands made in Italy, in the design, documentation and presentation of tourism services or products.
During the first lesson will be given a short test to verify knowledge and skills in geo-tourism.
The Course includes frontal lessons, in which slides and videos will be used.
There will also be group discussions on the main concepts and issues presented.
There will be interventions by privileged witnesses and / or experts during some lessons.
The use of aulaweb is foreseen, where materials presented and discussed in lessons on the instruments of the geography of tourism and the sea will be available.
The course is divided into three parts:
a) policies for tourism and hints of tourism marketing;
b) the organizational-territorial models that create a brand. The brand is a communication tool of territorial value. Tourist brands and case studies.
c) the tourist uses of the sea
