The Master of Tourism Management has been designed and developed as an advanced program of tourism management studies and which presupposes a previous familiarity and demonstrated skills on the basic concepts, and the attitudinal and procedural aspects of the role of the tourism manager. This program offers academic training for managers in the tourism sector (master of 120 ECTS credits).

Studies to achieve the academic degree should increase and improve specialist skills and experiences in different areas of tourism management in which the student has demonstrated previous aptitudes through previous academic performance. However our MTM is an applied development program, aimed at professional tourism managers rather than academics or researchers. Therefore the program focuses predominantly on the development of professional skills and experiences already possessed.

Course Objectives

This program offers the student the opportunity to:

  • a broad familiarity with the professional functions of tourism management that contribute to the organizational process and management of the tourist company;
  • a familiarity with the current currents of the theoretical-practical debate of tourism management and a high degree of understanding of their complexity and flexibility;
  • an ability to analyze innovations and developments in tourism management matters;
  • sensitivity to the social responsibilities of tourism management;
  • an orientation open to learning the aspects of tourism management;
  • a high level of analysis, evaluation and synthesis skills in solving the problems of the tourist company
  • an ability to stimulate, guide and concentrate the discussion on the science of tourism management on the basis of a balanced evaluation of didactic experiences on the one hand and professional experiences on the other.
