You will consider tourism as a journey through a cultural landscape and explore the ways in which tourism interacts with Australian culture, history, heritage and perceptions of national identity. After a general introduction to cultural tourism, students study the tourism landscape of Australia through an examination of the major historical eras. The impacts of each era in terms of cultural memory, cultural resources and tourism product will be explored and supported by case studies and site visits. The subject's theoretical framework is multi-disciplinary and, through the assessment, students gain experience in researching and documenting cultural tourism sites.
