【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
The phenomenon of cultural tourism exists in many forms and is regarded as one of the oldest forms of tourism. Defined as “A form of tourism that relies on a destination’s cultural heritage assets and transforms them into products that can be consumed by tourists.” (du Cros & McKercher, 2015: p.6), this course will analyze the 4 elements within the definition: (i) Tourism, (ii) Utilization of Cultural Assets, (iii) Consumption of Cultural Tourism Experiences, and (iv) Tourists and the Host Community.
We will consider the importance of cultural assets: as a way to define and understand nations, as a manifestation of people's ethnicities and identities as well as a vital driver of tourism. To do so, we will analyze the role played by various stakeholders, such as governments, businesses, the media, NGOs and conservation organizations such as UNESCO & ICOMOS.

【到達目標 / Goal】
Upon completion of this course students should be able to:

1) Understand the various forms of cultural tourism
2) Understand the key organizations involved in providing and conserving cultural tourism at local, national and international level
3) Understand the role of cultural tourism in destination branding and marketing
4) Understand the role of cultural resources in forming people's national and local identity, and how these are preserved and managed
5) Understand the complexities of stakeholder relations in the management of cultural tourism resources

【その他の重要事項 / Others】
Although not essential, this course will be more accessible for students who have taken other tourism-related courses. As such, students are strongly recommended to have taken/concurrently take one or more of the following: 100-level Introduction to Tourism Studies or the 200-level Event Management or Tourism Development in Japan courses.
I can draw from my experience in organizing events and as marketing director of a tourism business in the UK to help provide students with examples and to illustrate issues.
