Market |
Travel, Tourism and Hospitality industry today is the largest
and most pervasive sector within the global economy. It is
an industry that comprises many components (historical attractions,
theme parks, travel agents, airlines, museums, hotels and restaurants
among others) in both the public and private sectors of most
countries. Attracting visitors is high on the economic agenda
of all countries, states and cities. What travel, tourism and
hospitality, world-wide, has in common is the need to provide
quality services to increasingly discerning customers in a
business-orientated manner. This need requires management leadership
in all the main functional business areas (finance, marketing,
human resource management, and operations) as well as the strategic
leadership associated with general management.

aimed principally at providing a professional qualification
for the following markets:
- employees wishing to develop their
professional skills in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality
- students wishing to achieve a Degree or MBA in a flexible
and modular basis, at their own convenience and timescale.
