Master in Tourism Management and Sustainability

At Università degli Studi di Cagliari, tuition comes to 5,225 USD per year.

Taught in English at Università degli Studi di Cagliari in Cagliari, Italy, this master's programme in Tourism Management and Sustainability runs for two years and combines the study of tourism as an economic sector with attention to its environmental and social sustainability. Tourism management covers how destinations, hotels, tour operators, and public bodies plan, market, and manage travel and hospitality services, while the sustainability dimension examines how tourism activity can be organized to limit environmental impact and support local communities over the long term. Students in programmes of this kind typically study destination management, hospitality operations, marketing and consumer behavior in tourism, tourism economics, and policy and planning tools used to regulate visitor flows and protect natural and cultural heritage sites. Sustainability-focused coursework commonly addresses environmental impact assessment, responsible tourism practices, and the balance between economic development and conservation. Graduates pursue careers in destination management organizations, hotel and hospitality management, travel companies, tourism consultancies, and public agencies responsible for tourism policy or protected areas, as well as roles in sustainability and corporate responsibility within the travel sector. Because tourism is closely tied to regional development, the field also connects to broader questions of infrastructure, transport, and cultural heritage management. Cagliari, on the island of Sardinia, sits within a region where tourism plays a significant economic role, providing relevant context for the study of destination management and sustainable development. As an English-taught degree, the programme is intended for an international student body pursuing graduate study in tourism without requiring Italian language proficiency.
