The purpose of this course is for students to understand, apply, and critically evaluate the interaction between public and private actors in the field of tourism through the examination of tourism policies, tourism development plans and regulatory mechanisms in a variety of locations and political structures internationally. The course focuses on tourism policy and its relationship with economic, socio-cultural, environmental and political forces that can shape the policy of the tourism industry. This entails both discussions of general concepts and theories, and the application of these abstract approaches to concrete case studies of interaction between public and private actors within tourism in local, regional, national and international settings. In addition, the course aims to develop an understanding of tourism policy-making processes, and to gain skills in the evaluation of tourism plans and policies.
