Micro-accreditation in Data science for Hospitality & Tourism I (Descriptive Analytics) aims at introducing the basic concepts of data exploration and knowledge mining to support advanced data analytics and decisionmaking. During the semester, students will be introduced to Python and Jupyter Notebook as a working environment. We will explore techniques to assess the quality of data, prepare data for analysis, characterize, and describe a dataset, use clustering techniques, and network analysis for client/product segmentation. By the end of the semester, students will be equipped with the skills and toolset to develop a data-driven descriptive analysis independently to extract useful and relevant knowledge to support business decisions.
