BUTSM3701 TOURISM PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Planning is a fundamental function of Tourism Management. Tourism planners are required to understand various planning approaches and strategies for the development of tourism; and have the necessary skills to assess and evaluate tourism planning proposals; and integrate various parties in the tourism planning and development process. A tourism planner requires broad knowledge of the tourism planning framework; and the skills to analyse and evaluate tourism resources and markets. They require a deep understanding of community approaches to tourism planning; physical approaches to tourism planning; zoning strategies for tourism development; integrated tourism planning; and tourism planning for natural, rural and urban areas; as well as broad project management skills. ¿
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
