The Department of Tourism Studies plans and implements multifaceted voluntary social work based on its mission and strategy focusing on Sustainability, Competitiveness, Research and Innovation, Crisis Recovery, and Smart/Digital Tourism for the benefit of our students and society at large. The implementation of Social Actions and Connection with Society aims to help the Department continually connect with society and respond to the societal, cultural, educational, and developmental needs related to tourism, with a commitment to the principles of sustainable development, social cohesion, and equal participation.

The pillars of intervention for the implementation of Social Actions and Connection with Society are primarily the following:

• Impacts of Tourism on Society, Human Rights, and Quality of Life.
• Impacts of tourism on the Environment and Sustainable Development.
• Impacts of Tourism on the Economy.
• Impacts of Tourism on Education, Culture, Research, and Innovation.
• Impacts of Tourism on International Humanitarian and Development Cooperation.
