Tourism Planning and Management At University Of Ghana
This course is intended to introduce students to the tools, institutions, analytical techniques, financing
instruments, and policy issues relevant in today’s environment where increased responsibilities are
being passed on to sub-national governments, and where local officials and their constituents
clamour for increased control over their own economic destiny. Issues to be discussed include
conceptual framework of local economic development; tourism planning and management;
sustainable tourism; forms and types of local economic development; the increasingly limited local
economic resources; LED policy; financing local economic development policy; innovation and
entrepreneurship; and community participation in LED.
