Observacions

The class consists of introductory lectures combined with class discussions. The purpose of the introductory lectures is to present a critical view and assessment of some of the topics in the course. There are also tutorials where the students will raise issues for discussion regarding the evolution of the group assignment.
The teaching strategy is to give a critical overview of conceptual, empirical and case material with an emphasis on theories and findings that are based on research evidence and coherent argument.
Students will develop and present a formal assessment of a real case of destination product development and marketing and branding practices. The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student to extend and reinforce his or her understanding of the conceptual material of the course, and to contribute to the student development in terms of scholarly inquiry, disciplinary knowledge, analytic and critical thinking, independent and reflective learning, information literacy, collaborative work, and effective communication.
Students must also expect to work effectively in teams and to prepare formal written assignments in a clear and logical manner. Thus, this course aims not only to develop the student’s critical understanding of a range of substantive destination management marketing phenomena but also to encourage the student to present their analyses in a logical and convincing manner and to clearly show how their conclusions are based on evidence acquired through research.
