Programme summary
The Leisure, Tourism and Environment programme is a collaborative endeavour between World Leisure (www.worldleisure.org) and Wageningen University. Characterised by a worldwide, trans-disciplinary, critical and innovative approach, the focus is on the relationship between leisure and environment, with special attention for tourism. Although ‘leisure’ is not a term known everywhere in the world, it is a phenomenon that occurs at all times and locations in every society. More and more people throughout the world are spending a growing proportion of their time and money on leisure. This growth is related to international and domestic tourism, indoor and outdoor sports, outdoor recreation, arts and culture provision and participation, mass media use and everyday leisure activities. The economic importance of leisure and tourism services is growing tremendously. There is increasing awareness that leisure in all its manifestations has major consequences for cultural, political, technological, economic and geographical transformations throughout the world. In this respect, tourism is a powerful agent of both cultural globalisation and regionalisation.

Your future career
It is widely recognised that leisure and tourism are the word’s largest generators of employment. Tourism generates seven percent of all the world’s jobs. In the Netherlands, more than 300,000 jobs are related to the leisure and tourism sector. It is anticipated that the rapid growth of the past 50 years will continue during the coming decades.
Most graduates of this programme work in research, policy and planning, or consultancy and development, while a few continue their academic careers by entering a PhD programme at a university. A large proportion work for consultancy agencies or research institutes, and many graduates work in policy and planning jobs in governmental, non-governmental of private organisations on a local, regional or international level. Finally, many of our graduates work for intermediary organisations that link together sectors or interest groups such as leisure and tourism with conservation and agriculture, or businesses linked with government and communities.
