Dr. José Manuel Giménez Gómez

University Master's Degree in Tourist Destination Management coordinator.

As master's coordinator, I most interested in being able to put together a study programme and a group of professors who offer answers to the challenges, problems, and opportunities currently facing tourist destinations. These include the role of local society in destinations, the new technologies and forms of competition, climate change, excessive tourism pressure and the need for many destinations to reinvent or differentiate themselves. And we do all this whilst focusing on both the local context of the Costa Daurada and international cases and experiences.”

    PhD in Business Economics at the University of Santiago de Compostela.

    URV Staff Vice-rector.

    Creativity and the innovation stand out as key elements in the sustainable development and competitiveness of tourist destinations. From this perspective, and following an approach bridging theory and practice, I accompany our future destinations managers towards a full comprehension of innovation processes, facilitating practices and the role of the agents and institutions among which innovation takes place. The continuous disruptive changes of technological and social nature represent a constant challenge, but also a source of opportunities and competitive advantages that a good manager has to be able to identify and enhance. This is the main goal of the subject I teach in the MTD Masters.”
