The module is based on one three hour class per week with each class combininge formal lecture, tutorial and seminar approaches to allow for delivery and discussion of module content. The module is supported by invited guest speakers, site visits and extensive use of international case studies. Classes will use a variety of media for content delivery including websites, DVDs and case study support material. Students will be encouraged to observe and reflect on management practice in a variety of heritage visitor attractions, enabling them to develop their own skills and encourage the development of independent thought in relation to the identification of appropriate management approaches.The assessments are devised to provide the student with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the heritage tourism sector and to offer management solutions to site management issues. The first assessment focusses on the definition and nature of heritage tourism - an essay regarding definitions - encouraging students to access a range of sources in their exploration of the sector. The second is an exam based on questions in relation to the management of heritage tourism. Clear guidance will be given to students in terms of exam technique. The questions will allow students to demonstrate their ability to identify the key issues and practical solutions in managing heritage tourism, in addition to wider strategic issues at international levels.The module materials make full use of the available resources in this area, specifically the use of case studies to demonstrate previous, current and potential business management practices in a variety of international heritage visitor attractions.
