The Master in International Tourism at USI features experiential learning through “The Grand MTour,” a series of external classes each semester across Ticino, Switzerland, and Europe. This two-year journey culminates in a week-long Study Tour, where 2nd-year students travel to an inspiring destination, accompanied by tourism professors. This trip, considered a program highlight, offers exclusive opportunities to meet local tourism professionals and apply learned concepts and skills, providing a unique backstage look at the international tourism industry.
