In this course, postgraduate students will become acquainted with social research methodologies.
The course will introduce students to the safeguards against errors in both data collection and data analysis and reporting. In addition, the course will draw the attention of students to an important but often neglected aspect of tourism research, i.e. ethical issues in research, covering such topics as voluntary participation, anonymity and confidentiality and the need to adhere to professional code of ethics. How each method is, or may be, related to contemporary tourism policy issues will be an integral part of the course. Practical experience from studies done in other countries will be used to expose the students to practical issues in tourism research. The student will also be introduced to the basics of analysing research data.
