Descripció:
Heritage tourism refers to travellers seeing or experiencing built heritage, living culture or contemporary arts. Therefore heritage tourism, or visiting heritage sites, encompasses a multitude of motives, resources and experiences and is different for every individual and every place visited. In this context, one way of viewing heritage tourists is their level of interest in elements of the past: from serious to causal (and even reluctant) heritage tourists. Similarly, all destinations to some extent have heritage sites that are visited by visitors, and these sites are also more or less ‘managed’, with their management focusing primarily on conservation and visitor management. Heritage tourism management is, thus, a topic of high interest in the management of tourism, and the course will give the students the skills to understand the heritage tourism site (or ‘the product’), the market(s) and marketing strategies of the site managers, the impacts of tourism on the site, and other relevant management practices concerning revenue management, visitor management, conservation, interpretation, authenticity and the politics of heritage.

Observacions

Attendance
Class and field trip attendance are essential to the students’ success in this course. An excused absence can only be granted in cases of illness or family emergencies. Incompatible travel plans are considered unexcused absences. It is important and professional that students notify excused absences by e-mail to the instructors in advance, and when this is not possible, just after the absented class.
Participation
In-class and field trip contributions are an important part of our shared and learning experience. You are expected to come to class and to the field trip activities on time and make individual contributions by, providing evidences from your own experiences and from compulsory readings; advancing the discussions by making insightful comments and questions; listening attentively to the instructor and to the speakers in field trips; showing interest in your peers' comments, questions, and presentations; giving constructive feedback to your peers when appropriate, etc.
In class and teamwork discussions, there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. Rather we seek thoughtful contributions. Students’ insights of great quality can compensate other minor weaknesses found in other activities. A high ‘quality’ insight offers a different yet relevant point of view, is open to criticism, and moves the subject discussions forward.
Compulsory Readings
You are expected to read all the compulsory readings listed in the syllabus, well before the course starts. You might be required and/or expected to refer to all these materials, even if they are not explicitly presented, introduced or discussed in class. Classroom activities are not supposed to go through all these contents, but introduce selected topics and discussions from among all those present in the basic readings. After the readings, students are encouraged to propose topics and questions of interests for further discussion during the course, and sent them to the EMTM Consortium secretariat before the course starts.
Cell phone and laptop use
The time spent in lectures has been reduced to a bare minimum. To make the most of this time, full attention and involvement from the students are expected. You are welcome to bring your phones, laptops and other electronic devices, which you should only use for educational purposes and in-class related tasks. Lack of compliance with this requirement will be considered as a weakness.
Submission of assignments
Late assignments will either not be accepted or will incur in a grade penalty unless due to documented serious illness or family emergency.
Classroom Norms
Students must arrive to class on time and stay until the end of the class period. Chronically arriving late or leaving class early is unprofessional and disruptive to the entire class.  Lack of attendance, repeated tardiness, and lack of proper attention may have a negative impact on your grade.
Teamwork rules
Business activities involve group effort. Consequently, learning how to work effectively in a group is a critical part of competence building.
Every member is expected to carry an equal share of the group’s workload. As such, it is in everybody’s interest to be involved in all aspects of the project. Even when groups distribute some tasks among the individual members, the responsibility of the results are always shared by all the members. The group project will be graded as a whole: its different components will not be graded separately. 
It is recommended that each group establishes ground rules early in the process to facilitate joint teamwork, including a problem-solving process for handling conflicts. In the infrequent case where students believe that a group member is not carrying out his or her fair share of work, they are urged not to permit problems to develop to a point where they become serious. If students cannot resolve conflicts internally after their best efforts, they should be brought to our attention and we will help to find a resolution.
Students will also be asked to complete a peer formative evaluation form to evaluate the contribution of each of the group members (including your own contribution) at the conclusion of the project. If there is consensus that a group member did not contribute a fair share of work to the project, it will be counted as a weakness for that individual.
