Abstract

The case study reveals the present state of the Literary tourism issue in the university setting at the Management of Tourism bachelor study programme. It demonstrates how to increase desired awareness and students’ knowledge of this cultural heritage topic while utilizing a tried-and-true scheme of content development within the frame of a blended learning concept. The scheme might be perceived as a didactic tool built on the heuristic method, Socratic debate and constructivist approach that meets the requirements of student involvement and motivation to create and retain knowledge.
