Content and Subject Descriptions
Adventure tourists travel to a destination primarily to participate in outdoor activities which involve a combination of physical activity, exertion, risk (real or perceived) and thrill. As such, adventure tourism management requires knowledge, skills and understanding in six core areas:
- Social and global contexts
- Business management
- Communication skills
- Operational management
- Resource management
- Work and practical experience
The curriculum is designed to give students the required experience in all six areas.
