Description In 2023 this subject is replaced by TOUR 3004 - Destination Management. Destination Management provides students with a fundamental understanding of the concepts in destination management. This includes coordination of the destination in terms of the tourism industry's sectors, their relationship with each other and the challenges they face. An appreciation of the importance of a destination's unique cultural, natural and economic attributes is developed from the viewpoint of the visitor and industry representatives. The implications of organising urban spaces for the visitor experience and its influence on sustainability and competitiveness are explored.
