This program integrates rigorous business research methodologies with the strategic management of non-profit entities within the tourism sector. Students explore the complexities of sustainable development, economic stewardship, and the socio-economic impacts of tourism on local communities, grounded in a framework of ethical responsibility and servant leadership. Through high-level analysis and applied research, the curriculum addresses the pressing challenges of modern business environments while emphasizing the role of non-profit organizations as catalysts for positive societal transformation. By engaging with both theory and practice, graduates are equipped to lead organizations that prioritize long-term viability and community health.
