A school dedicated to the analysis of tourism systems and territorial dynamics, to understand and support structural transformations.
PlazaTur was born in 2015 from the meeting between geography researchers and territorial development practitioners. We train analysts capable of deciphering the complex interactions between tourism, space, and society.
Understand the territory to act on its future.
Our mission is to provide the methodological tools and knowledge to analyze the evolution of tourism systems, their territorial impacts, and their sustainability trajectories.
Analysis precedes strategy.
We favor an approach based on public data and scientific methods. Our commitment is to the production of knowledge useful for communities and local actors.
Rigor in service of the territory.
Our character is defined by a spirit of critical analysis, a desire to transmit complex knowledge in an accessible way, and a strong grounding in the regional realities we study.
Think global, analyze local.
Unlike purely managerial training, we place systemic analysis and the use of open public data at the heart of our pedagogy. Our regional studies serve as concrete cases.
Where others see a sector, we see a system.
