BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE UNIT:
Regional development and the strategies associated with it have been the subject of debate and several studies. In recent years, particularly with the introduction of new technologies in almost all areas of the economy and society, the subject was rekindled in light of new approaches that put the regions at the heart of competitiveness, economic growth, developing countries and social welfare. In this context, tourism has played a key role, with important contributions to the development of regions and increasing synergies with the territories. The process of planning and development of tourist destinations is thus presented as a key instrument in the context of regional development.

Teaching Methods
Classes will combine formal presentation of concepts, theories and models, encouraging student participation through discussion, the constant intervention and critical reflection of the subjects addressed. The expository / participatory approach will be useful at the level of conceptual issues related to the themes of regional development and the role that tourism plays in the development of the regions.
The use of case studies, research and data analysis, analysis of relevant scientific texts and drafting work during classes allow students to consolidate the knowledge acquired and simultaneously promote proactive processes in the creation and application of knowledge. At this level, we intend to promote analysis and practical application of previously acquired knowledge and methodologies related to the topics taught.
Practical guidance and support sessions for the work done by students (individual or group) , as well as sessions for presentation and discussion of the work performed will take place simultaneously.
