Tourism is especially important in regional economic development and one of the most spatially concentrated. From Alpine ski destinations, Mediterranean beach resorts to global cities with unique cultural heritage, tourism is a truly global phenomenon. With that, it is also a global growth phenomenon. In recent years, its rise was briefly interrupted by the COVID pandemic but quickly rebound to the same upward trajectory. In that, this dynamic aspect of tourism economics provides a unique setting to study a multitude of questions. In this seminar, students learn how to connect tourism data with other sources and analyse such the resulting data to answer empirical economic research questions related to tourism. Students write a seminar paper on one of the provided topics (or choose an own topic) and present their findings in the plenum.
