Tourism sciences and territory development

The degree programme in Tourism Sciences and Territory Development trains professionals specialized in the enhancement, management and enhancement of the tourism sector in its various forms, and in particular in the cultural one, with the aim of ensuring the sustainable management and sustainable, responsible and innovative use of the Italian cultural and territorial heritage.

This training can find an outlet both in private companies of various sizes and different territorial scales (such as, for example, tour operators, accommodation and para-accommodation facilities, e-commerce companies dedicated to the travel sector) and in public and private bodies (Regions, Provinces, Destination Management Organization, Local Action Groups).

The three-year programme, although endowed with professionalizing characteristics, thanks to its pragmatic character and oriented to the professional outlet obtained with internships also abroad, prepares for the in-depth profiles of the graduate degree programmes in Planning and Management of Tourism Systems (LM 49) and in Information and Publishing Systems (LM 19).

To this end, the training provided by the degree programme is based on some areas of knowledge that - if considered in an integrated way - provide the future professional with the keys to interpret and manage the dynamics of a complex economic sector such as tourism:

• the areas of linguistic knowledge;
• the areas of juridical-economic knowledge;
• the areas of territorial, sociological and communication knowledge.
