ANT 325 - Heritage Tourism

Credits: 3

This course explores the history of heritage tourism and its place in contemporary culture through a variety of material drawn from history, anthropology, and narrative non-fiction. Students examine the relationship between history and heritage, local and tourist on the cultural landscape. In addition to this academic perspective, the course uses St. Augustine as its classroom to assess challenges facing professionals in tourism and cultural resource management, including the marketing of historic places, the tensions between entertainment and education, and the problems of preservation and use. This course is cross-listed as HIS 325.
