Goal and objectives of the course: The course Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in tourism aims to introduce students to the possibilities of GIS as a modern information technology and as a tool to support the decision making process in the field of tourism. The main tasks of the training course aimed at preparing future economists in the field of tourism using geo-information technologies for economic organization and management of business processes in the field of tourism, to provide practical knowledge and skills of students to work with GIS applications-software. With the successful completion of the training course on GIS in tourism students can solve a wide range of theoretical and practical issues related to the design, creation and use of generic and thematic GIS projects, and their use in solving different in the analysis of geospatial data. The course provides comprehensive training of students on the use of geospatial information and gives the relationship of the knowledge and skills to use modern methods of organization and management of tourism activities. For teaching and successful learning process underlying the discipline, students need a solid background in analytical geometry of 2-D and 3-D spaces, the relational data model, statistics, computer systems, as well as basic knowledge the economy, organization and management of the company's business in a market economy. The course has a practical focus and aims to provide the necessary minimum of theoretical knowledge of the nature of GIS as a modern and dynamic interdisciplinary field of science, the nature and structure of GIS as a modern information technology models of geo-spatial data the use of 2-D and 3-D coordinate systems and projections in computer modeling of geographical processes and phenomena it studies the basics of geo-statistics. Planned laboratory and system for monitoring and evaluation of knowledge and skills aimed at developing the basic operations in GIS, the creation and use of GIS projects in the field of tourism with the help of the software package ArcMap 10.x.
