It nurtures the creativity, adaptability, and flexibility to succeed in travel and tourism today. Modern tourism management requires individuals who can respond to the changing needs and sensitivities of stakeholders. By studying tourism, you will consider consumers, operators, governments and suppliers as well as communities affected by attractions and resorts. With a focus on sustainable tourism and destination marketing, our BSc in Tourism Management not only considers how to make various destinations attractive, but also the issues that can arise. Respecting local cultural sensitivities, minimising environmental impact, displacement and the impact of second home tourism are all just some issues that increased tourism can affect. Where better to study, explore and assess the economic, environmental, cultural, and social impact of tourism than in a location that attracts millions of visitors each year. Sitting between the mountains and the sea, Bangor University is in a historic city, with Snowdonia National Park and Anglesey’s coastline close by. Bangor University’s tourism management legacy dates back over six decades when one of our academics at the time first developed the concept of positive economic impact of tourism.
