This course will develop the students‘ understanding of, and ability to develop, experiences in a tourism context. The fundamental difference between touristic products, services and experiences will be explored as a starting point. Tourism and tourism experiences will highlight experiences as essentially co-constructed outcomes between tourists themselves and others. The role of construction is further explored by considering the role design in converting tourists‘ experiences to meaningful experiences and how these link to positive memories. The role of meaningful tourist experiences are central to personal transformation, and as such are discussed and suggested as a means to mediate individual behaviors. The discussion then turns to the potential of meaningful and transformative experiences in dealing with issues of sustainability. The course concludes by exploring the implications of present and future technologies on the future of tourist experiences.
