... University of Bedfordshire

Course Overview

It is a time of change in the travel and tourism industry. This innovative course – which also incorporates aviation – provides a wide-ranging understanding of the challenging global issues affecting travel and tourism. It also gives you the business and management skills you need to fly in your career, whichever sector you go into.

With its interdisciplinary approach, this course offers a critical understanding of the global issues affecting how international tourism and aviation are organised and managed. It explores the industry’s 21st-century challenges of rapid growth, the emergence of new destinations, climate change, and the ethics of managing a business in which the prime attractions include the natural environment and people’s culture.

This course combines theoretical and practical knowledge of tourism and aviation management, with topics including different aspects of management; marketing; heritage, cultural, social, environmental and political issues; and sustainable development. It also builds your understanding of the nature, structure and organisation of the aviation and airport industry.
