AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge and understanding: Students will become familiar with the main methods of descriptive statistics and the most important sampling methods. They will also acquire detailed information on the main national and international statistical surveys on tourism. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course, students will be able to: -Organise, manage and analyse datasets using Excel -Use official tourism statistics sources -Measure tourist satisfaction by means of a sample survey. Making judgements: Students must be able to use the acquired knowledge both on a theoretical and operational level with autonomous assessment skills, in various applicative contexts. Communication skills: Students will acquire the technical language typical of the discipline to communicate clearly and without ambiguity with both statisticians and non-statisticians. Learning skills: Students will develop adequate learning skills that allow them to continue to study the subject independently. Connections of the course with other courses in the programme: The topics introduced in this course will allow the students to properly understand numerical data within other disciplines. TEACHING METHODS Lectures with use of Excel for data management and analysis. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course covers some fundamental statistical tools for the analysis of tourism data. The theoretical part of the course will be accompanied by a practical part, carried out in a computer room, aimed at learning the skills necessary to acquire, reorganize and analyze data on tourism.
