This 4th year optional subject does not need any specific pre-requirement. It is only necessary to follow tourism news and some of the knowledge that the student must have learnt in previous years of the degree. Regional Tourism Policies follows some of the ideas of other geographical subjects of this bachelor’s Degree, like Regional Geography, Regional Tourism Resources and Cultural Heritage (all of them compulsory). It also shares some points with four other optional subjects: Tourism Products, Tourist Destinations and Public Promotion, Tourism and Sustainability and Tourism Related Topics. Regional Tourism Policies focuses on the sectoral and territorial nature of tourism regulations. It is mainly a theoretical subject, although it provides a practical approach through different activities. Depending on the student’s choices, it can also be connected to the Bachelor’s Degree Final Project.
