In the present global Coronavirus pandemic, the tourism and hospitality industries are in deep sleep. At the same time, issues of climate change are pressing down on economies and societies everywhere: we are at a moment of profound change and re-thinking of the destination of ourselves, our societies and cultures, and the planet itself.

Hospitality, tourism, and pilgrimage are in the front line.    

The course offers a wide range of theoretical and policy related approaches to travel, tourism, pilgrimage, and cultural heritage – incorporating reference to migration of all kinds and backed up by appropriate ethnographic/geographical examples from many parts of the world.

The course is taught over an intense two-week period. It is open to students/ participants from a variety of academic disciplines – anthropology, sociology, history, geography, development studies, international relations, art, music, and other disciplines in the Arts and Humanities. Participants with professional and more general experience and knowledge of the field are welcome. Find out more at: http://bit.ly/2HPwRFr
