About this program
Why should you choose Tourism, Hotel Management and Operations?
This program is the perfect choice for high school graduates who have no practical education within the tourism and hospitality industry prior to entering the program.

After your graduation you will have proof of professional experience in the industry, which is very valuable for your immediate career start.

You will learn about different forms of business communication, improve your presentation skills and academic writing, and boost your communication abilities. To keep up in the ever-changing business environment, you will learn the key concepts and principles of problem-solving, critical thinking, decision making, creativity, and teamwork.
