  • Education aims

The course aims at providing, on the one hand, some basic knowledge, supplementary to the course of Fundamentals of geography, which are essential for the analysis and interpretation of the territorial organization of tourism, of the conditions and of the effects of its development in various geographical scales. On the other hand, it will provide theoretical and practical knowledge, which are fundamental for the preparation of geographical-regional monographs for tourists and are preparatory to the planning of travel and touristic itineraries. Starting from the methodologies and tools useful for the analysis and the  representation of natural landscapes, the course will explore later the wider issue of geographical and social landscapes, of cultural landscapes, with reference to the relationship between geography and other disciplines that deal with landscape (from architecture to cinematography). In summary, the course will enable students to acquire skills and capacity to carry out activities and initiatives such as: travel guide, technician in planning and organization of tour packages, travel agent and tour operator, operator in local tourism companies, operator in the planning and programming context and in the territorial promotion at various levels of public governance.
