Tourism

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!
