Minor content
The premaster Tourism Geography and Planning prepares you for the Master Cultural Geography with a specialization in Tourism Geography and Planning at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (RUG). After completing the premaster, students can directly enroll in this Master without an additional study delay.
Tourism is a global phenomenon with important regional and local impacts. Policymakers often focus on tourism to reach regional development aims. Tourism could lead to economic growth and maintenance of the living standard and cultural facilities in areas that struggle with declining traditional economic sectors. The Master program offers critical insights into the role of the tourism sector in such livability and identity questions. It offers international, place-based, critical and research-oriented approaches to discuss socio-cultural and spatial perspectives on tourism development.
This minor is offered by the study program Tourism Management.
