Welcome to the Master´s Programmes in Tourism Destination Development & Sustainability and Tourism at Dalarna University

These are international programmes and you will have the opportunity to meet students from all over the world. During your studies you will learn how to develop and manage a destination sustainably, and the role of cultural and natural heritage, events and marketing on it. You will also learn how to formulate research problems and work on them. You will also have the opportunity to visit tourism businesses and organisations.

If you take the two-year masters on Sustainability and Tourism, you will expand your studies to go deeper to sustainability and resilience issues in tourism destinations.

Tourism is a major growth industry internationally, and there is an urgent need for knowledge on how to develop destinations in a sustainable way. These programmes give you the opportunity to learn about and participate in tourism destination development projects. The courses adopt a sustainability perspective and focus on planning, and developing tourism destinations in both Sweden and in other parts of the world.

Welcome to an inspiring international environment in Dalarna!
