MSc course in sustainable wine tourism introduced

Thursday, January 6, 2022

Prospective students worldwide can apply for the new MSc course in sustainable wine tourism and gastronomy. This course is beginning in the 2022 academic year, said the School of Wine & Spirits Business.

Located in Dijon, an accessible distance from the heart of the Côte d’Or’s famous vineyards, the institution is part of the Burgundy School of Business (BSB).

It said the MSc in sustainable wine tourism and gastronomy will be taught in English. It shows ‘strong demand from companies for managers capable of accompanying them in their transition to sustainable development’.

Still, wine tourism is viewed as a major growth area for wineries and wine regions over the long-term, in spite of the financial effect of Covid-related travel restrictions in two years.

BSB’s wine school said gastronomy is also a major theme for travel. “The outlook in these areas is very promising, as many wineries, restaurateurs and accommodation providers are increasingly adopting a CSR [corporate social responsibility] strategy, respectful of the environment, their employees and society.”

It said its new course is open to any French or international student with an existing Bachelor’s degree in any subject.
