The Master in International Tourism is offered jointly by the Faculties of Economics and of Communication Sciences of the Università della Svizzera italiana, USI, situated in Lugano - Switzerland. This full-time study programme comprises 120 ECTS spread over 4 semesters (usual duration 2 years) and is entirely offered in English.
Having developed very rapidly in recent decades, international tourism has become one of the world economy's major industries. Yet, managing international tourism demands a serious commitment: it is challenging in so far as one must take into account a variety of different economies, institutions, legal systems, languages, and cultures.
The Master in International Tourism aims to provide the student with knowledge, expertise, and innovative development models specially designed for the strategic management of tourism systems at different degrees of complexity and geographical scale, while focusing more particularly on the creation and development of new tourist resources and ventures.
Next intake is September 2010. Applications are welcome from now on until July 1.
