Think about Destination Management through Heritage Creation
In the first semester class, you will learn about "Tourism Design", which is a practical theory for solving social and regional issues that support tourism creation, especially from the perspectives of community development, cultural resource management, and international cooperation. Specifically, we will explain and discuss legal systems such as cultural property protection and urban planning, landscape management, public-private partnership (PPP) and CBT = community-based tourism, international cooperation projects, etc. In the second semester, through learning the future strategy of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, each student can create heritage (= rediscover potential heritage value and future heritage) after understanding the logic to explain the ‘universal value’ of heritage and the framework of management plan. In order to gain the creativity of ‘heritage creation’, we will discover the heritage that is close to us, evaluate it, analyze the current state of management and propose plans as individual projects.
