Course Objective

By prolonging the consumption experience, the media changes the meaning of tourism in time and space. The aim of the course is to enable students to analyze the relationships between current media technologies, industries, markets, genres and audiences and analyze their effects on the tourism system and related industries. At the end of the course, it is aimed that the students question how the tourism experience is communicatively constructed by the media tools and raise their awareness level about these tools.
