The degree course in Design and Management of Mediterranean Tourism Systems aims to promote connections between tourism and the territory in the tourism systems of the Mediterranean area. More specifically, the course aims:

to enhance the planning, promotional and managerial abilities of the practitioners who will be employed in tourism systems exploiting the natural and cultural heritage of the Mediterranean territories
to favour the development of the expertise necessary to manage the supply and demand of tourism by stressing the importance of a systemic view of tourism and the crucial role of a close contact between private and public promoters in planning, marketing and managing tourism products
to provide the students with the skills necessary to operate in the field of tourism in a systemic way rather than in a sectorial, restricted dimension.
