TOURISM POLICY PLANNING

THS3TPP

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject introduces students to the development of public policy, with particular reference to the tourism, hospitality and leisure industries. It examines the interaction between society, public institutions and the economy in the development of public decisions that affect these industries. It explores a market-based approach to the analysis of public policy to explain the interaction between communities, business firms and government in the process of public decision-making. The subject focuses on the structural mechanisms (the economy, the state and society) normally invoked in the analysis of the policy process, and builds an explanatory model to help guide students understanding of the relationship that exists between the public sector and business. The subject takes up a number of contemporary issues including the significance of externalities, private use of public goods, and government funding for the industry.
