Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PRESENT THE MAIN STATISTICAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO DETECT, PROCESS AND INTERPRET THE SOURCES OF TOURISM STATISTICS AND THE TREND OF TOURISTIC FLOWS.

STATISTICA PER IL TURISMO
STATISTICS FOR TOURISM
IL CORSO INTENDE PRESENTARE I PRINCIPALI STRUMENTI STATISTICI NECESSARI PER LA RILEVAZIONE, L'ELABORAZIONE E L'INTERPRETAZIONE DELLE FONTI STATISTICHE SUL TURISMO E DELL’ANDAMENTO DEI FLUSSI TURISTICI.
THE COURSE AIMS TO PRESENT THE MAIN STATISTICAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO DETECT, PROCESS AND INTERPRET THE SOURCES OF TOURISM STATISTICS AND THE TREND OF TOURISTIC FLOWS.

CONOSCENZA E CAPACITÀ DI COMPRENSIONE
L’INSEGNAMENTO HA LA FINALITÀ DI TRASFERIRE ALLO STUDENTE GLI STRUMENTI DI STATISTICA DESCRITTIVA E FONDAMENTI DELL'INFERENZA STATISTICA AL FINE DI:
- CONOSCERE LE TECNICHE DI RILEVAZIONE DELLE INFORMAZIONI E LA DISPONIBILITÀ DI FONTI STATISTICHE SUL TURISMO
- ACQUISIRE CONOSCENZE STATISTICHE UTILI PER L'ANALISI DI FENOMENI TURISTICI E PER ASSUMERE DECISIONI IN CONDIZIONI DI INCERTEZZA NEI PROCESSI TURISTICI

CAPACITÀ DI APPLICARE CONOSCENZA E COMPRENSIONE
LO STUDENTE SARÀ IN GRADO DI:
- RACCOGLIERE DATI E INFORMAZIONI DIRETTE ED INDIRETTE, ELABORARE, PRESENTARE ED INTERPRETARE DOCUMENTI E REPORT CHE INCLUDONO INFORMAZIONI DI TIPO QUANTITATIVO.
- PRODURRE ANALISI DI SINTESI, INDICATORI E REPORT DI SUPPORTO ALL'ATTIVITÀ DI AMMINISTRAZIONE, CONTROLLO E GESTIONE DI ENTI PUBBLICI, IMPRESE PUBBLICHE E PRIVATE, OPERANTI NEL SETTORE DEI SERVIZI TURISTICI

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS TOOLS AND FUNDAMENTALS OF STATISTICAL INFERENCE, IN ORDER TO:
- KNOW THE TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING INFORMATION AND THE AVAILABILITY OF STATISTICAL SOURCES ON TOURISM
- ACQUIRE STATISTICAL KNOWLEDGE USEFUL FOR ANALYZING TOURISTIC PHENOMENA AND TAKING DECISIONS IN CONDITION OF UNCERTAINTY IN TOURISM PROCESSES

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO:
- COLLECT DIRECT AND INDIRECT DATA AND INFORMATION, AS WELL AS PROCESS, PRESENT AND INTERPRET DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS INCLUDING QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION.
- PRODUCE SUMMARISED ANALYSES, INDICATORS AND REPORTS WHICH CAN SUPPORT THE ACTIVITY OF ADMINISTRATION, CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC BODIES, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISES OPERATING IN THE TOURISM SERVICES SECTOR.
Prerequisites
DURING THE COURSE, THE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC STATISTICS WILL BE DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLY THE COURSE OBJECTIVES.
Contents
THE COURSE INTRODUCES SOME FUNDAMENTAL STATISTICAL TOOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF TOURISM PHENOMENA. THE THEORETICAL PART WILL BE SUPPORTED BY A PRACTICAL PART AIMED AT LEARNING THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO COLLECT, ORGANIZE AND ANALYZE DATA ON TOURISM.

THE EXAM INCLUDES LECTURES ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:

- STATISTICS AND THE TOURISM PHENOMENON. INSTITUTIONAL DATA SOURCES. STATISTICAL SURVEYS. (6 HOURS)

- FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS. INDICES OF POSITION. INDICES OF VARIABILITY. SHAPE OF A DISTRIBUTION. BIVARIATE DISTRIBUTIONS. DEPENDENCE BETWEEN VARIABLES. (16 HOURS)

- INTRODUCTION TO TIME SERIES. SIMPLE AND COMPOSITE INDEX NUMBERS.
Teaching Methods
THE LECTURES WILL ADDRESS THEORETICAL TOPICS, WHICH WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE PRESENTATION OF EXERCISES THAT CLARIFY THE METHODS AND CONTEXTS OF USING THE INFORMATION PRESENTED.
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH AN EVALUATION IN THIRTIETHS. THE EXAMINATION IS BASED ON A WRITTEN TEST CONSISTING OF BOTH NUMERICAL EXERCISES AND THEORETICAL QUESTIONS. THE TEST IS PASSED WITH A MINIMUM MARK OF 18/30.
THE EXAMINATION, WHICH LASTS APPROXIMATELY 90 MINUTES, IS AIMED AT ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION OF THE TOPICS INDICATED IN THE PROGRAMME, THE MASTERY OF ANALYTICAL TOOLS AND THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED.
