With a focus on sustainable tourism and destination marketing, our BSc in Tourism Management not only considers how to make various destinations attractive, but also the issues that can arise. Respecting local cultural sensitivities, minimising environmental impact, displacement and the impact of second home tourism are all just some issues that increased tourism can affect. Where better to study, explore and assess the economic, environmental, cultural, and social impact of tourism than in a location that attracts millions of visitors each year.
