The course of Tourism Sciences activated at La Sapienza presents as an added value the presence of some specific factors of the tourism offer in Rome. The city is characterized by: (1) the extraordinary relevance of the heritage of historical, archaeological, artistic, religious and environmental heritage of Rome and Lazio, which has always been a strong motivation for visiting, staying and studying; (2) the ever-increasing role that tourism and culture play in the economy of these areas; (3) the consolidated operational capacity of its accommodation infrastructures. This is a course characterized by a strong professionalizing value, and, potentially, by a direct relationship with the labor market, which, in line with the increasing diffusion of a careful and conscious attitude by Italian and foreign users, warns of the need for qualified cultural operators in this booming sector.
