MA/MS in Tourism and Culture

This one-year master's specialisation in cultural tourism is offered by only one university in the Netherlands. It trains students to critically analyse current trends in tourism and heritage management, covering areas such as tourism shaped by travel restrictions, sustainable tourism, film-induced tourism, and tourism built around darker historical sites. The programme combines a long-term historical perspective with project work carried out alongside public and commercial partners, responding to demand from municipalities, heritage centres, publishers and travel organisations for professionals who can critically interpret tourism as a cultural phenomenon and communicate informed narratives to visitors.
