The course is composed of three units:

• International Economics

  You will be acquainted with the factors which influence international trade and international factor movements. You will be familiar with the most important trade policy instruments and their effects on national welfare and income distribution.

• Consumer Behavior in Tourism

  This unit will focus on behavioural concepts, learning about and applying research techniques and recent research findings to understand how consumers choose products, with an emphasis on evaluating such behavior in the tourism industry. Theories from psychology and sociology are also explored so that you will be able to identify consumer applications in a range of national and international settings.

• Project paper

  The project paper is based on a topic from one or both of the units. You work on the project individually or in groups of two or three. While working on the project paper you will learn about different research methods and how to collect and analyse data. During the project you will have to collect empirical data, analyse your findings and draw conclusions.
