STATISTICA PER IL TURISMO

Study of methods and statistical applications for the development of tourism management sectors

LESSONS + FOCUS GROUP + PRACTICAL SIMULATIONS

The lessons will be mainly practical. The theoretical part will represent the introduction and general knowledge of the individual topics. Each student will follow the course (also in group or team form) through their own PC so that the practical part will be the practical contextualization of exercises and applications in real time.

Constant attendance is recommended, since the teaching model, in addition to having a basis with texts, presents content innovations on practical cases often not covered in existing books on the market. Therefore, participation in the lessons is necessary to achieve the objectives mentioned above.

Teaching methods: lectures with the use of slides, excel, statistical software, classroom discussions, external testimonials, case studies

Audit methods or examination:

- Written test (practical test): YES

- Oral test (theory test): YES

Software: Excel

Books of deepening suggested for the methodological and applicative approaches:

David M. Levine, Timothy C. Krehbiel, Mark L. Berenson Statistica II ed. edizione Apogeo

Gardini A. (1998) “L’analisi della domanda e della produzione di servizi turistici” ed. Clueb

The following will be assessed:-

- problem solving skills: in relation to the objectives proposed to the candidate in terms of solving case studies, the candidate must identify the statistical techniques or statistical indicators most suitable for solving the problem;

- analysis and reporting skills: based on the objectives, the candidate, after having processed the collected data and generated results, must be able to read and interpret the results;

- theoretical and practical knowledge of methodological issues: in this case, the in-depth study of the recommended text(s) and the complete teaching material provided (slides, exercises and simulations in Excel), represent the tools to refine the language and knowledge of the methodological aspects of the subject. In this third phase, the candidate must demonstrate that he has acquired theoretical and practical knowledge.
