Sustainable tourism

The course in Sustainable Tourism is designed to provide professionals with approaches, methodologies and tools that transfer a new perspective of positioning tourism as a sustainable and regenerative activity in the territories, thereby contributing to generate innovative and forward-thinking thinking about said ambit. In other words, the students who take the training will be able to interpret their territory, from a political, economic, cultural and environmental context, creating meeting spaces, dialogues of knowledge that position tourism in a sustainable, creative and resilient.

Objective

Develop a training proposal aimed at the creation and strengthening of paradigms, methodologies and tools that allow structuring a sustainable and regenerative tourism at the territorial level.

Specific objectives

• Integrate a systemic territorial approach towards the sustainability and configuration of regenerative cultures capable of creating tourism actions that provide territorial value.
• Know and apply interpretation techniques of natural and cultural heritage, to promote territorial sustainability.
• Propose new sustainable and regenerative tourism initiatives articulated with local development strategies.

Methodology

The course will be taught under the semi-face-to-face modality, having a first virtual-synchronous part, for which asynchronous virtual phases will be combined with synchronous virtual ones, added to the autonomous work that must be carried out by teams.

Academic evaluations will seek to connect with base readings, which will be connected with a space for analysis and evaluation (discussion forums or related tasks, among others). Synchronous classes will be facilitated by combining a series of methodologies that include lectures, readings to be discussed in class, case analysis, practical teamwork, among other resources that favor the generation of knowledge. In addition, each module considers an autonomous work phase which will be used to develop team work that will be closely connected with the subsequent modules. It is pertinent to mention that throughout the phases there will be an accompaniment of each teacher in its various modalities (asynchronous, synchronous and face-to-face).

Finally, a final module is stipulated in the territory (under biosecurity measures and in open learning spaces).

Total: 83 hours

Module I: Tourism from a systemic and sustainable approach

Module II: Projects and experiences of territorial sustainability and its tourist structure

Module III: Seminar on sustainable tourism and territorial development.

Once the activities and requirements for the development of the course have been fulfilled, the participants will receive the certificate of the "Sustainable Tourism Course", based on what is established in the Regulations of the Continuing Training Department, that is, that the participant obtains a minimum of 70 % in the academic evaluation and 80% of attendance to the synchronous sessions in each module and 80% of the face-to-face workshops.

This program is aimed at professionals and consultants in the area of ​​tourism, high school graduates, university students, postgraduates and people interested in the subject.
