Module 2 • Get acquainted with public programs dedicated to tourism in Mexico, in order to

optimize its impact and detect possible opportunity areas in its design and application. • Analyze the challenges, scope and achievements of several sustainable tourism

practices, in order to extract those susceptible of being either imitated or avoided in future sustainable tourism projects.

• Characterize the consumers of alternative tourism and its suppliers, in order to understand their profiles, coincidences, opportunities and new market segments.

Module 3 • Characterize cultural and nature tourism as the main branches of alternative tourism,

without disregarding the need for both of them to be sustainable. • Consider the cultural heritage of a community as a possible focus of touristic attraction,

in terms of its promotion and preservation. • Assess the influence that tourism might have in the preservation of the legacy and

cultural identity of a community through the consequent increment in the –temporal and permanent- flow of people in the region.

Module 4 • Characterize the duty of the service providers and the requirements involved in the

operation of alternative tourism products and services. • Identify the touristic activity as an important economic and productive activity that is

attractive to internal and external agents, which might motivate investment, business opportunities, employment and regional sustainable development.

• Value the effects that sustainable touristic centers could have on the natural environment and the surrounding communities, thanks to its potential as economic activity generators.

Module 5 • Identify the problematic related to current tourism in our country and propose a project

that –potentially- can be implemented somewhere in Mexico in order to promote the country’s cultural and natural heritage as well as the sustainable development in the region it would be established.
