Answer:
Explain the importance of Educational Tours' as an aesthetic andcultural co-curricular activity.
Answer:On the basis of a scoping review of the literature about educational tourism—a type of
tourism in which the traveller’s primary or secondary objective is learning—this study summarizes
views on how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can foster local development through educational
tourism. The results show that international students can be considered as educational tourists,
and their stay can benefit them and the destination. In this context, the university can actively facilitate
relationships between tourists and local stakeholders to foster learning at the destination and improve
the sustainability of the local economy; some reports about specific cases are described. We argue that
the tourism component should be considered by any institution organising or managing educational
programmes, in order to exploit the opportunities offered by the destination for the achievement of
learning goals. More specifically, the paper focuses on educational tourism related to HEI students in
international mobility programs, who are educational tourists inasmuch as their overall experience
at the destination includes leisure and tourism activities. Further research is needed to formulate
models of intervention.
