Introduction
Do you want to participate in the development of your city or region? Do you want to increase the standard of living of their inhabitants and attractiveness for tourists and investors? Are you interested in why some regions are economically and socially less developed and how to improve their situation? Or do you want to understand the functioning of individual tourist destinations and the impact of tourism on the given area? So study the Regional Development and Tourism program!
During your studies, you will better understand the development conditions in specific localities. You will find out what, for example, the presence of companies, well-educated people, or tourist attractions can mean for the region. You will gain an insight into the functioning of regional and innovation policy and the principles of granting subsidies for developmental projects. You will also learn how to prepare these projects so that you can get money for their implementation. You will look into environmental topics and find out what tools can be used to prevent environmental pollution. You will also try practical tasks from tourism management and marketing.
- The only school in the Czech Republic that combines the study of regional development and tourism
- Study tourism in the second most attractive city in Europe
