Course description

Learning outcomes:

  • design, orchestrate and manage customer’s experiences
  • create meanings and meaningful contents and solutions in tourism and leisure
  • apply design and user-centrism in development of tourism, hospitality and leisure services and business

Content:

The Experience Design course (5 ECTS) offers students an in-depth exploration of how to create and manage customer experiences, with a particular focus on the tourism industry. Through this fully online course, students will engage with core concepts in experiential marketing, service design, and customer value creation. Using a hands-on approach, they will apply these principles to a tourism-centered case project that guides them through stages of research, ideation, prototyping, and final implementation.

The course promotes active engagement and combines lectures, self-study assignments, and collaborative group work. In addition, partnerships with companies provide practical insights and real-world perspectives. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to develop their ability to design, manage, and orchestrate meaningful customer experiences, while also creating valuable content tailored to the tourism and leisure sectors. By the end, students will have a solid understanding of how to integrate user-centric methods into service and business development for tourism.
