The course aims to make students acquire knowledge of the tourist phenomenon in its various aspects. The desire to discover has induced human beings to move for different reasons: knowledge, faith, culture, health, fun. Different purposes, types and ways of moving through time and space have marked landscapes, relationships, cultures, art, economics, forms of relationships.
The course will try to understand how tourism is therefore not only a relevant phenomenon from an economic point of view, but as a moment of encounter and interrelation between different cultures
