Tour­ism and Hos­pit­al­ity Man­age­ment

Course content

With nearly 300 million jobs worldwide, is the travel and hospitality industry one of the largest job markets globally. This course provides in-depth business knowledge of essential concepts and skills for this industry, including travel, transportation, events, hotels and restaurants, but also insights on tourist behaviour and destination management. Hereby we translate existing theories from marketing, management, psychology and other fields to this diverse and highly relevant business area. The course is thereby divided into five different segments, where each segment discusses specific theories for a diverse set of cases of the industry.

• Tourism Demand and Tourist Behaviour
• Tourism and Hospitality Supply: Value Chains and Platforms
• Digitalization in Tourism and Hospitality Management
• Tourism Impact: Sustainability in Tourism and Hospitality Management
• Tourism and Hospitality Marketing and Management
