Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module examines key theories derived from the social science study of tourism. These theories have informed much of the debate about tourism in the tourism studies literature. Their study is an essential part of any understanding of tourism as they discuss the social and cultural contexts that give rise to tourism and tourist practice. In so doing, students will be able to understand how tourists relate to their chosen destination and the local people within these locations.
Topics include imagery, material culture, multisensory experiences, movie tourism, legacy, museum and ethnography.
