We have all experienced the tourism industry one way or another. It is fun, exotic, exciting. Yet how aware are we of the meticulous planning and research that goes into creating the more successful attractions such as the Eden Project?
The MSc Tourism, Development and Policy reveals the secrets of making a successful tourist attraction in a way that few other programmes do. Unlike other programmes that concentrate only on business operations, the Master’s in Tourism, Development and Policy includes top topics such as tourism and climate change, second homes, poverty alleviation, resort regeneration, destination management and promotion.
The Masters in Tourism, Development and Policy is just one of several exciting programmes running alongside a vibrant doctoral programme in
the Centre for Tourism Studies in the School of Business and Economics
at the University of Exeter. Taken over 12-months, the programme equips tourism managers, governors, and entrepreneurs of the future with cutting-edge knowledge about the operation, management and government of the global tourism industry. The programme comprises seven modules covering topics such as economic development, tourist behaviour, policy and strategy, tourism marketing and sustainable tourism management.
With a compelling mix of contemporary knowledge and advanced skills and techniques, our graduates become highly attractive to employers in both the
public and private sectors of tourism. Employers of our graduates include
destination-marketing organisations, tourism consultancies, local and
regional government, consultancy fi rms, NGOs and charities.
