This class is designed to help participants build the practical skills necessary for developing tourism in a rural setting. The course takes a hands-on approach that allows students to learn by doing. Participants will be introduced to a process for tourism development and will then apply this knowledge in a scaled down and risk free environment. The result is a class that focuses on building skills and not just learning theory. In addition, participants will benefit from the assistance and advice of an instructor with extensive experience in rural development. This class is delivered online to allow busy professionals the flexibility to do the coursework when and where it is convenient. Participants can access the course materials anywhere there is a computer and can complete the assignments around their own schedule. Participants can also receive continuing education credit for the course. HERE IS WHAT SOME FORMER STUDENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE COURSE "I have learned a lot in this class.
