COURSES

Il corso ha l’obiettivo, attraverso l’analisi di casi e di molte esperienze pratiche, di fornire attraverso un approccio soprattutto induttivo gli strumenti concettuali e pratici per la gestione di attività che riescono a conciliare e collegare entrambi i settori, per uscire dal dibattito spesso sterile tra conservazione e diffusione dei beni culturali e tra turismo di massa e turismo di elite. Il corso ha l’obiettivo di fornire anche una prospettiva equilibrata per la gestione di relazioni istituzionali e interorganizzative (anche tra pubblico e privato) per la realizzazione di progetti di turismo e cultura. Il docente è uno degli operatori più qualificati nella progettazione e realizzazione in questo settore.

The course aims, through the analysis of cases and many practical experiences, to provide through an inductive approach the conceptual and practical tools for the management of activities that manage to reconcile and connect both sectors, in order to move away from the often sterile debate between conservation and dissemination of cultural heritage and between mass tourism and elite tourism. The course also aims to provide a balanced perspective for the management of institutional and inter-organisational relations (also between the public and private sectors) for the realisation of tourism and culture projects. The lecturer is one of the most qualified operators in planning and implementation in this sector.
