Tourism and Leisure Planning, Minor

This minor includes courses that integrate an education in tourism development, community planning, and parks and recreation management. Tourism is now the world's largest industry, and many graduates will find rewarding careers in the areas of tourism, leisure, and recreation. This minor will enhance a number of university majors, especially those related to economics, marketing, environmental sciences, business fields, and hotel and restaurant management.

In this minor, students explore the relationships between tourism behavior, leisure services, and the facilities/infrastructure needed to support them. Topics include ecotourism and planning for sustainable tourism.
