Learning objectives
The aim is to introduce students to the tourism phenomenon, analyzing it in its various aspects. The analysis starts from a framework of the discipline from a general and definitional point of view, and then proceeds in more specifically territorial terms. Spatial models, urban development dynamics, regionalization are some of the most significant aspects.
The measurement of flows linked to tourist supply and demand is preparatory to build up an organic interpretation of the phenomenon.
An important part of the course will be dedicated to the study of new tourisms, with specific orientation to the state of the art in Italy.
At the end of the course the student must have acquired the skills to:
- understand and analyze the geographical - tourist characteristics of the different territorial contexts;
- outline possible operational scenarios.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of the basic notions of economic geography and tourism geography. Some fundamental concepts will be reviewed during the course.
Program
The course aims to identify and explain the main characteristics of tourism in relation to population flows and the territory involved. In particular, it will deal with the socio-economic changes linked to tourism demand, and importance will be given to the tourism-culture relationship and the dynamics expressed. Finally, the sector of new tourism will be explored in depth, both as new forms and as a new way of enjoying traditional forms. At the end of the course, the student must have acquired the skills to understand and analyze the geographical-tourist characteristics of the different territorial contexts in order to be able to outline possible operational scenarios.
