Sustainable Tourism for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Policy Makers
The upcoming online learning course ‘Sustainable Tourism and Stakeholder Networking for SIDS Policy Makers’ will take place from 25 April to 13 June!
If you are a policy-maker or a destination manager in a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) who is interested in learning more about sustainable tourism management, join the course. This free 7- week course was developed by partners in our Sustainable Tourism Programme, Sustainable Travel International, offered by the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences and the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU).
Course information
This course lets you explore and assess the opportunities that sustainable tourism strategies offer for SIDS. This course will help you to think carefully and critically about current tourism policies. It illustrates through practical examples how policy-making can improve in the main SIDS regions. This interdisciplinary course is a stand-alone course for policy-makers and master students from related disciplines (e.g. policy or development economics). It can be taken parallel to work or study over a period of five weeks. Prior to the active phase, learners can already register, make themselves familiar with the learning environment and browse through some content.
Work load: Equivalent to an estimated 3-4 hours per course week, depending on how deep you indulge in the material, discussion and interaction with other learners. By passing the final assignment, a certificate of completion will be awarded.
Requirements: To get the most out of this course, it is helpful if you have a B.A./BSc. level degree in a related field of study, e.g. political sciences, development policy or similar. As the course is held in English, you will need fluent English skills.
