Observacions
Aquesta assignatura es desenvoluparà en anglès. Tenir un nivell B2 és requisit per poder cursar l’assignatura amb èxit. / This course will be taught entirely in English. It is a requirement to have at least a B2 level.
The objective of this subject is to offer an introduction on the creation, management and monitoring of the image, brand and reputation of destinations, be they cities, towns, regions, provinces, countries or nations. Destinations represent structures in constant transformation and are so complex that their image, brand and reputation cannot be created or managed by implementing standard marketing techniques used, of example, to sell toothpaste. Destinations – and cities in particular – need a different strategy to represent the always-changing reality and improve the place, not only for its citizens but also for attracting tourism, investment and talent in order to promote sustainable economic development.
Given the practical load of this subject there is continuous evaluation. Therefore, it is essential to attend class regularly. Non-attendance will prevent student’s evaluation. Since the subject is in English, all work must be also in this language. The quality of the work will be evaluated, not the level of the language. However, if the language prevents the teacher from understanding the student’s main arguments, this will impact the final grade.
