Welcome to Sustainable Destination Planning and Development

at Dalarna University

In this course you will learn about essential aspects of destination management, i.e. the sustainable development and planning of it. You will be introduced to the principles of destination development and planning and the role of tourism as an agent of sustainable development. Development is examined from various perspectives to reveal the merits and deficiencies of tourism development and illuminate the various pathways to sustainable development. Tourism is presented as a developmental choice with impacts on the local and global level of the natural and socio-economic environment and its relation to sustaianbility. 

You will also engage in more practical work, through a case-study that will take place, where we will visit a destination and learn about it, and then, in groups, come up with suggestions for a sustainable development of the destination. 

Welcome to the course!
