In this respect tourism is a potent agent of cultural globalisation. Leisure can provide a major contribution to quality of life and social well being. Leisure and tourism have been long recognised for their role in community and regional development. Furthermore, tourism and leisure developments can have major environmental impacts.The principle focus of the MSc study is on the way these processes come together to produce particular types of leisure and tourism environments. Special attention is paid to areas of concern such as landscape, space, place and locality.The mission of the programme is to bring students and academics from all parts of the world together in a multi-cultural setting.
