Tourism and events are among the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy* with destinations adopting event-led tourism strategies as a means to enhance location awareness and reputation and to bring about positive social and economic impact.

Strategic Event Tourism Management

This module will provide you with a theoretical and practical understanding of the strategic role of events in shaping policy and developing sustainable tourist destinations. The module uses case studies of events and festivals with varying levels of national and international influence.

You will examine the rationale for utilising events as a strategic driver of tourism at a local, national and international level and learn how to negotiate the competitive bidding environment, and ultimately how to manage these events.

The link between these two core modules reinforces the significance of ethical and responsible decision making and leadership within your future career.
