CODE 83674 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 SCIENZE DEL TURISMO: IMPRESA, CULTURA E TERRITORIO 9912 (L-15) - IMPERIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR IUS/01 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION IMPERIA SEMESTER 2° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The teaching is concerned with the private legal regulation of the most important and most common contracts in the tourism sector, as well as that dedicated to those called upon to operate in that sector. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course deals with the subjects of tourism (companies, associations), tourism contracts (with particular reference to the sale of tourist packages, skypass agreement and hotel’s agreement ), forms of protection (with particular reference to civil liability and damages). AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The first objective of the teaching is to provide learners with knowledge of some of the essential concepts of private law, without the mastery of which it is not possible to approach the study of the private discipline of the tourism sector. To this end, the following topics will be analyzed: sources of law, interpretation of the law, subjective legal situations, and contracts in general. Having acquired the basics of private law, the largest part of the course will focus on the subjects operating in the tourism sector and the most economically relevant and widespread contracts in business practice. Therefore, we will focus on: accommodation facilities, travel agencies, tourism professions, navigation and transportation contracts, hospitality contracts, organized tourism contracts, tourist leases, and timeshares. Active class attendance and individual study will enable students to: - know the sources of private law and their relationships in the current national and supranational legal system; - interpret normative documents; - understand the structure and functioning of the main institutes of private law; - appreciate the declinations that these institutions undergo within the tourism sector; - express themselves correctly in technical-legal language. PREREQUISITES None TEACHING METHODS Lectures and analysis of some judgments. Attending students who wish to do so will be able to expound on rulings in the classroom (more information will be provided during the first lectures). Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Serena Scotto (scotto@economia.unige.it), the Department’s disability liaison.
