It would be easy to confuse these 9 NYU students as tourists but they are actually studying the tourists.
In an effort to teach students the tourist culture of a city, Professor Sharr Prohaska from the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management at New York University has taken 9 NYU students to Prague to see how the rise of tourism has influenced the culture.
According to Prohaska “I’ve been here seven times since 1990. I’ve seen immense changes — how cultural tourism has evolved, the country coming out of communism. It’s a wonderful place for a case study.”

I think programs like this are terrific. Those students will have fun, and will be trained for future careers. We need more students to participate in things like this.

Studying the culture and being immersed in the environment are key to any study abroad program.
