After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the key figures of tourism and the dynamics relevant to tourism planning. Relevant data and documents are collected, interpreted and applied to planning tasks in a self-organized way.

Furthermore, students are able to comprehensively assess and analyze sustainability aspects in tourism planning. In particular, they have knowledge of the current challenges in developing country tourism and in dealing with world heritage.
