What do you learn about in the Travel & Tourism course?

Hi, I’m thinking about taking a travel and tourism course next year in grade 11 – high school. I’m not exactly sure what you learn it though.
In the future I want to study international law. I’m not sure If this will help or not but I wanted to take it because it seems interesting. I just want to know what EXACTLY you learn in the course. ^^

if you want to study international law, really don’t lose your time with the Tourism course. I took it and for my personal experience, you don’t learn that much as you learn working. If you are going to the law branch my recommendation is to focus on that!

How can I become a travel and tourism teacher?

admin — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:08:06 +0000

Basically, in the future I wanna be a travel and tourism teacher. How do I do this.. do I have to do a degree in travel and tourism? then what do I do after?

Obtain a certificate in travel and tourism. This can be obtained from the continuing education department of a major college or university or via an online program. Courses you might take while obtaining a travel and tourism specialist certificate center on customer service, computerized reservation systems, travel terminology, location-specific travel tips and matching travelers with appropriate travel methods and accommodations.

Gain as much experience as possible in your chosen field. If you’ve opted to open a travel agency down the road, seek positions within the travel industry to gain as much experience as possible. Peruse trade publications for job listings or look on the websites of companies for which you are interested in working to determine whether they are hiring. The more well-rounded you are as a travel and tourism specialist, the more you can offer potential clients or consumers.

Network within the travel industry. As a travel and tourism specialist, the hallmark of your job rests on the connections you make. If you work with a tourism agency, you need constant updates from industry insiders to market tourism in your locale. If you operate a travel agency, then your connections will be what gets your customers custom packages and great deals that keep them returning to your business. Maintain key relationships across the travel industry, from air and cruise line ticketing agents to hotel managers and beyond.

I got this from EHow. I hope this helps!

Practical work experience is just as important!
So make sure you exploit every opportunity to work, even if you don’t get paid! Being a helper at a bungee jumping company or wilderness trekking company (with good references) is vital in a very people orientated business!

For people who want to open a business but don’t have a clue how and what’s needed to do so in a foreign country, it’s advised to hire a consultant.

However, I wish to begin a career in the industry. I have just finished a BTEC national diploma in travel & tourism, with 3 distinctions. (I don’t wish to go to university).

How many jobs are actuallyreadily available in event management?

I think in the last nine months in my own area I have seen once such vacancy.
You have no practical experience to offer against some one with a degree in events management as they can offer the experience gained on practical placements so you may struggle.

But you could start to gain work experience in the hospitality trade as a starting point, perhaps in hotels or bars or restaurants to give you a base line.
