Social and Cultural tourism issues

The course provides an overview of issues related to the relationship between tourism and culture and social issues. The course looks critically into definitions and concepts and analyses on the one hand how culture is transformed for tourism consumption and on the other hand how culture shapes hosts and tourists' behaviours and consumption. Further it tackles tourism participation and social tourism aspects.

The course builds on certain forms of cultural tourism and uses case studies to illustrate critically the relationship between culture and tourism.

The aim of this module is to introduce students the complex relationship between culture and tourism and develop his/her critical approach.
