Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management examines the driving forces behind the global tourism economy and how tourism development can be made compatible with sustainable urban and rural development, natural resource management and cultural preservation, responding to UN World Tourism Organization forecasts of much faster tourism growth in emerging economies. Students develop the skills to design tourism policy and manage tourism enterprises toward more sustainable practice, with the course offering a partially funded intensive field school studying development patterns in an Asia-Pacific emerging economy such as Fiji or Vietnam, alongside fully funded first-year industry field schools in Sydney, Hobart and regional Victoria. That international field experience distinguishes the course from a purely classroom-based tourism management degree, giving students direct exposure to how sustainable tourism actually plays out on the ground. It suits graduates aiming for tourism policy, planning or management careers who want genuine international field experience built into their qualification rather than added as an optional extra.
