About Tourism

There are reported to be 195 recognised countries in the world. And with increasing travel making these countries more visited and accessible than ever before, the world is truly a global village and there are plenty of opportunities in travel and tourism that are ready to be stamped into your career passport.

Having said this, you don’t necessarily need to be looking internationally for a rewarding role in tourism. Domestic tourism is an equally thriving field and you can combine your patriotic passion with business savvy – all you need is the right training and qualifications. There is an array of online courses available that will get you into the industry, and you can even choose to study online while you travel!

Tourism involves more than just knowing some fun facts about the area you’re visiting. It is about the business behind travel, and why people pick the holiday destinations they do. That’s where the value of a qualification in tourism comes in – you’ll understand the business behind the fun, and how to handle the associated organisation and administration.

Potential travel and tourism career outcomes include: Tourism Adviser, Travel Adviser, Travel Agency Manager, Holiday Representative, Tourist Operator, Holiday Park Manager, Tour Operations Manager, Tour Guide, Cruise Consultant, International Travel Consultant.
