Course details
Syllabus
Module 1: Tourism Studies and Development
In module 1, you will learn more about the cases from which we will depart in this course. Each case represents a unique setting in which tourism develops one way or another. As situational these cases appear, they may well connect with other practices that you are familiar with or have a special interest in. It is also possible to come up with your own case and find collaborators (other learners) who wish to join you in the exploration of this case. We very much welcome your creativity in outlining a case that is of interest to you!
If you are eager to move forward and engage in a dialogue on these cases, you must enrol as a verified learner. As a verified learner, you are given access to your own team environment but also to previous ideas developed in this course. You can work with other international team members on a case of your choice, share inspiring solutions to problems addressed, participate in (optional) fieldwork and engage in analyses corresponding to modules 2-4.
Module 2: Psychology of Tourism
In module 2, you will get an overview of the psychology of tourism and explain tourist experiences before, during and after holiday trips.
Module 3: Sociology of Tourism
In module 3, you will get an overview of the sociology of tourism, and learn how to explore the policy environment of any tourism case.
Module 4: Geography of Tourism
In module 4, you will get an overview of the geography of tourism, and learn how to explore the politics of place making and objects in tourism contexts.
Wrapping Up and Looking Forward
In module 5, we will invite you and your team members to present your group findings to all learners of this course. As such, you can possibly become inspired with the work of other learners in this course and gain final feedback to improve your final team vision.
Finally, verified learners can complete this course by filing a personal report in which you reflect on the team process and outcomes individually.
Prerequisite
This course is especially valuable if you have a background in either the social sciences or tourism/hospitality studies, but everyone is welcome to join (you might want to consider taking TOUR01x first to learn the basic concepts used in this course).

L'université de Wageningue est une université située à Wageningue, aux Pays-Bas. Son campus est établi en banlieue de la ville, ce qui lui permet de projeter de nombreuses extensions de ses locaux, déjà tous ultra-modernes, en raison de son caractère scientifique. L'université est en effet axée sur les sciences de la vie, la sociologie, les relations commerciales et les ressources naturelles.
L'Université abrite notamment l'Insitut Alterra destiné à la recherche multidisciplinaire sur l'environnement artificialisé et anthropisé (environnement rural, écologie urbaine, espaces verts, trames vertes).
