Tourism is one of the keystones of the development and revitalization of many Italian regions, in particular Liguria, which in recent years, according to the REGIONAL TOURIST OBSERVATORY, presents a positive trend and continuous growth, that the crisis of 2020 due to the global pandemic has only slowed down.
In particular, the teaching of TERRITORI DEL MADE IN ITALY E GEOGRAFIA DEL MARE: I SISTEMI TURISTICI aims to provide some tools for the analysis of the link between territory and tourism and to focus on the geography of the sea, focusing in particular on the potential inherent in the tourist uses of the sea.
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.
The student will be able to analyze the image of the territory, both maritime/coastal and inland areas, in order to recognize the specificities of its cultural heritage and identify strategies for the development of integrated and sustainable tourism.
It will also develop skills useful to identify the uses of the sea related to tourism and to analyze the Made in Italy tourism brands. These skills will be useful in order to strengthen students' abilities in the design, documentation and presentation of tourism services or products.

The course includes lectures, in which slides and videos will be used.
There will also be group discussions on the main concepts and issues presented.
