The Master of Science (Tourism Planning) program at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is a collaborative effort between the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and the Faculty of Management and Human Resource Development. The program is designed to cater to the needs of both fresh graduates and professionals, aiming to produce skilled and highly trained tourism planners. Over the years, the teaching approach has evolved from a traditional urban planning focus to a flexible, multi-disciplinary, and collaborative approach centered around sustainability principles. A notable aspect of the program is its emphasis on practical learning through real-world projects. Encompassing various domains of tourism planning, such as ecotourism, urban tourism, rural tourism, heritage tourism, island tourism, and sustainable tourism, the program provides a comprehensive understanding of the field.
