In 2023 this subject is replaced by TOUR 3005 - Tourism Policy and Planning. This subject gives students a general understanding of planning theory as it relates to sustainable tourism policy and practice. Students will apply this knowledge to tourism sites, facilities and activities in Sydney with a major assignment focusing on Sydney Olympic Park. A self-guided field trip enables students to apply and understand various planning techniques, tourism policies, scenario mapping strategies and consider conflict resolution practices. Students will present their ideas by integrating quantitative and qualitative data, both in teams and individually. At the conclusion of this subject students will have the skills to apply planning theory to an analysis of tourism policies, sites, facilities and activities in a global city such as Sydney.
