Faculty of Higher Education TOU551-Sem 1-2021 Prepared by: Dr. Caroline Winter ©William Angliss Institute Page 3 of 20 Subject Summary This subject introduces students to the multidisciplinary nature of tourism studies. The theoretical, strategic, structural and methodological approaches to understanding tourism are outlined in both the academic literature and the explanation of these principles as defined by the research produced by key academics, writers and tourism authorities within the field. Students will learn about the key characteristics, elements and factors that both are representative and formative of tourism. Importantly, students will be required to strip away the obvious external displays and concepts of how tourism is presented, to explain the underlying more subtle and culture driven meanings of tourism as a field of study and a body of knowledge. Students will be asked to consider and evaluate issues of historical, theoretical, ethical, cultural and philosophical relevance within tourism as a basis for structural meaning in their ongoing studies. Core academic research skills are embedded in this unit.
