CLASSES WILL COMMENCE SEPTEMBER 7 2020
National heritage in recent times is being promoted as an essential aspect of tourism world wide. In several developing countries, including those in the Caribbean region, heritage tourism is seen as a viable economic alternative. In appreciation of this thrust the course, Heritage Management and Tourism in the Caribbean, is intended to link the management of national heritage in Caribbean region with tourism. Essentially the course focuses on principles involved in the formulation and implementation of heritage management policies and practices, and the relationship between these and the development of a viable heritage tourism package.
Course Rationale
Heritage and its preservation are a major concern around the world. In order to establish identities, as well as attracting visitors, the natural and cultural heritage is protected, conserved, managed and interpreted, by families, by cities, by nation states and at an international level. Environmental and cultural heritage is now accepted as a major feature in business location, as the demand for quality of life becomes insistent.
