Outline and objectives

This seminar continues from the Tourism Management I seminar, though with a greater focus on students' independent research projects. In addition to a field trip, students are expected to conduct investigative research that will form the basis of an extended research paper to be the completed during the second year of the seminar.
Building on knowledge acquired in the Spring semester on the management and marketing of tourism, the class content will continue to blend analysis of seminal research with illustrative and up-to-date case studies from a range of domestic and international destinations on tourism management. These will vary from year to year based on students' research interests.

Goal

The goal of this seminar is to provide students with academic and practical knowledge relating to management and marketing that can facilitate their progression into the world of work.
Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired enhanced research and analytical skills. They will develop their ability to design, organise and manage an original tourism-related research project. Additionally, through in-class discussions and presentations, students will gain valuable experience in persuasively expressing and defending their opinions on a range of issues relating to business management and marketing.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain “DP 1”, “DP 2”, “DP 3”, and “DP 4”.
