International Sustainable Tourism Management (Double Masters…

Sustainability represents an increasingly influential facet of tourism planning, development, governance and management, encompassing a diverse range of sectors as the industry continues to expand globally.

The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) forecasts that the growth rate for emerging economies will be double the rate of advanced economies in the years leading to 2030 and that a sustainable industry can therefore play a significant role in the achievement of development goals.

This international double master’s program looks at the driving forces behind the global tourism economy and how tourism can be compatible with sustainable development.

• Study in both Indonesia and Australia, and deepen your global tourism expertise and connections. You will initially study a full year at (ITB) in Indonesia and then subsequently a further year at Monash University in Australia.
• Gain the skills to develop and manage sustainable tourism policies and practices in global settings in areas such as urban and rural development/regeneration, natural resource management, as well as international and domestic tourism.

How will this course help advance your career?

There is a growing demand for well-qualified managers who not only have a broad and deep understanding of global business activity and market based solutions, but a clear insight into the consequences of planning and policy-making on the environment, society, culture and the economy. Effective planning and policy making for international tourism, and for the management of environmental, socio-cultural and economic consequences is critical.

Our graduates are employed in a variety of government and private-sector tourism organisations, including state, regional and national tourism offices; management consultancy firms; advertising agencies; international education organisations; and airline and tour operators.
