HRTM71-206: Tourism Analysis and Evaluation

Description

Operators, investors, and government authorities increasingly rely on research data to inform decisions that aim to maximise financial returns, social and economic benefits of tourism-related projects. In this subject, you will learn about relevant tourism databases and develop skills in collecting, analysing, and reporting data in formats that are accessible to various tourism stakeholder groups. You will develop skills that are important in a tourism or hospitality operations management role, where you will need to read and interpret data to make decisions, and for roles in government or semi-government tourism management organisations, where you would be required to conduct analysis and communicate results to stakeholders.
