The contents that are intended are those of everyday work in companies and institutions involved in cultural and natural tourism (State, Autonomous Communities, Provincial Councils, Councils, Councils, Town Councils with a strong tourist or cultural component).
The emphasis will be placed on the application of the teaching acquired in the classroom to the contents related to the usual processes and tasks of cultural and natural tourism companies. Knowledge from the inside of the mechanisms of management, design, marketing, of the different tourism business themes. This will help students to face clients and other areas of competence and will accustom them to a world totally different from the academic world, such as the business and institutional world, forcing them to give quick answers, different from those they are used to in the academic environment, teaching them, therefore, to stop being passive agents and become active agents.
The specific contents will depend on the subject matter of the work carried out but, in any case, they will constitute a deepening of the competences acquired in the rest of the compulsory and optional subjects.
Students must carry out an activity related to management, design and/or marketing mechanisms in a cultural or natural tourism company, at the end of which they will submit a report describing and evaluating the activity carried out in the company. Its evaluation and monitoring is entrusted to an internship coordinator, who will assess a report drawn up by each student at the end of the internship, the guidelines for which have been determined by the programme's academic committee. In this document, the student will formally express the observations and reflections made during the internship. Obviously, it must include the results of the student's intervention in the institution or centre he/she has joined, as well as his/her personal reflections and conclusions. As a complement to this report, the report issued by the work placement tutor in the company where each student has carried out their work placement will also be taken into account.
