From Idea to Implementation: Master’s Students in Malaga

Second-year students of the master’s study programme Tourism Destinations and Experiences travelled to Malaga as part of the course Practicum 3: From the Idea to the Implementation of a Trip.

Within the course, students explore the entire process of planning and carrying out a trip – from developing the initial idea, preparing the programme and organising individual steps to the actual implementation in the field. They also take on the role of tourist guides, transferring the knowledge gained during their studies directly into practice.

Malaga offered them a valuable learning experience in a vibrant Mediterranean environment, shaped by cultural heritage, cuisine and the lively rhythm of the city. Such practical experiences are an important part of tourism studies, as they enable students to better understand destinations, travel organisation and tourist guiding through direct fieldwork.
