Tourism Online Academy

Education is a universally recognized human right, with which it aims to combat inequalities, social exclusion and global illiteracy.

The digital age has made formal academic studies no longer enough to keep you up-to-date. Organizations face volatile markets that require evolution in all skills. For this reason, constant training has become a requirement that the labor market brings, in search of professionals with greater skills, which are acquired in the shortest possible time.

One of the strongest priorities of UNWTO is to digitalize education, to become more accessible and useful for everyone. In this regard, UNWTO Tourism Online Academy, in partnership with IE University, one of the most prestigious educational entity in the world,  was created and officially presented at the framework of the UNWTO 23rd General Assembly 9 September 2019.

“Our vision is to provide global opportunities to people interested in the tourism sector and to break barriers between work, skills and training” -. Zurab Pololikashvili at Saint Petersburg's 23 General Assembly

The Tourism Online Academy is an online learning platform which provides self-paced online courses from the best universities in the world that mainly focus on concepts, areas of interest and fundamental principles related to the tourism, hospitality and destination management industries.

This high-quality learning experience is available for everyone at an affordable price and caters to those who are looking to improve or supplement their current skillset in order to adapt to this fast-growing and evolving sector. Through these first programs, participants will acquire managerial skills in digital marketing, finance, strategy, operations, innovation and digital transformation.

ALUMNI SUCCESS STORY

Maria tuttocuore ‘02.

Maria Tuttocuore was already working in the travel industry when she decided to pursue a master's degree. She sensed that earning a degree in the field of travel and tourism would better position her for success by providing her with hands-on experience in the field and the opportunity to network.

Here’s what we’ll look at today

• What is a Travel and Tourism course?

What are the benefits of studying travel and tourism management course?

• What are the top Travel and Tourism courses after 12th standard?

After a Bachelor’s Degree

How to apply to travel and tourism management with no stress, what is a travel and tourism course.

An industry that was one of the worst affected during the pandemic is swinging back to its former glory and is now growing faster than ever. According to a report published by Future Market Insights (FMI), the sustainable tourism market size is predicted to grow to $ 8.4 trillion by 2032.

Since most of the world has opened its borders, With the added visibility on social media, travel stories and adventures have resulted in a perceivable increase in domestic and international tourism. As a result, learning and job opportunities in this market are also on the rise.

In India especially, the travel and tourism industry is one of the largest and contributes significantly to the country’s foreign exchange. The trend also suggests that the industry will be on an upward trend for the next two decades or so.

So, if you see yourself as a part of this industry, then a travel and tourism course is what you need to consider. You will learn to plan and manage travel arrangements, hospitality, and customer service, to name a few skill sets. You get to develop your ability to multitask, communicate effectively and become an organisational genius, helping people have the trips of their dreams.

A typical travel and tourism course is an aggregate of leisure, comfort, luxury, and business travel and hospitality needs. Global distribution Systems (GDS) are also a large part of this field. Any course in this discipline will include chiefly the fundamentals, history, business statistics and market trends, aviation management, and business regulatory framework of tourism along with basic data sciences that help you study and analyse the trends in the tourism industry.

You will also gain an in-depth knowledge of how tourism operates, airfare, industry terms, international destinations, reservations, ticketing, life and communication skills. In addition, the course will help you build your interpersonal and leadership skills to provide the best possible options for travellers and tourists.

What does one get out of studying this course? Let’s take a look…

1. Global opportunities:

Careers in this industry go beyond borders in today’s globalised world, where international travel and tourism is more accessible than ever before. You can build your career in an airline, hotel, resort, cruise ship or any related organisation in any country. THe scope of international transfers is also very high.

2. Skills that are transferable:

As a student of tourism management or hotel management, the fundamental skills you are learning are business management, human relations, sensitivity to other cultures and creative thinking. These skills are highly transferable and can be seamlessly employed in any other industry that you choose to work in.

3. More opportunities to travel:

If you are an adventure seeker yourself, this course gives you the chance to make a career out of it.

4. Problem solving and people skills:

Versatility is one of the key lessons of this discipline. It includes work hours, dealing with different people, cultures, food, countries and so on. One of the biggest benefits of this course is that you will learn adaptability and problem solving.

5. Transformation and Growth of the Tourism industry:

The nature and scope of the tourism industry is a dynamic thing that evolves as the world adapts to the changing times. For instance, sustainable travel and pet-friendly travel options are taking over, along with wellness tourism and enabling technologies to make it more accessible and quicker. These developments have made the industry a multi-faced and interdisciplinary one, requiring professionals with a wide range of skill sets. As a prospective student, this directly translates to increased opportunities, specialised areas of work and building problem solving skills.

What are the career opportunities after studying travel and tourism?

There is a general misconception that careers in the tourism industry are at a dead end due to self-booking platforms (like MakeMyTrip, Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.) –  that enable customers to directly make their plans and book their tickets. That’s far from the truth – also working in the industry has many more options than being a travel agent. That said, the role of a travel agent has not become obsolete.

If anything, it’s actually on the rise. Studies show that in the U.S. alone, 44% of travellers who did not use travel advisors pre-pandemic have or plan to use travel agents. The reason is profoundly psychological yet simple. After lockdown fatigue, people have been desperate to travel or have an adventure. The overwhelming number of choices also has proven to decrease satisfaction and cause decision paralysis. Enter, the travel advisor.

In addition to being a travel advisor, tourism departments of governments are looking for fresh blood and new ideas to rejuvenate their country’s image and welcome more tourists. Embassies often hire graduates from Tourism departments. You can also find opportunities in immigration and customs departments, airlines, hotels, event management, travel journalism, sales and marketing, and so on.

Here are some of the portfolios you can hold after completing a Travel and Tourism degree:

• 1. Travel Advisor/ Agent
• 2. Tour guide/ Adventure Guide
• 3. Tourism Manager in both governmental and non-governmental organisations
• 4. Travel journalist, writing, photography or videography
• 5. Air cabin crew
• 6. Hotel Manager/ Concierge
• 7. Event manager
• 9. Entertainment Manager
• 10. Interpreter (provided you also build multiple language skills simultaneously

The bottom line is that the skills you develop by doing a travel and tourism course are completely transferable and can be applied in most service sectors. You do not have to limit yourself to the options mentioned here since most organisations are not extremely particular about the degree you possess.

The admission process to get into some of the best universities starts much earlier. For instance, your GPA requirements cannot be met at the last minute. That said, keep track of the deadlines for early admissions and regular intake. MIT, for instance, closes early admissions in November and the regular intake in January. Most schools have an online application that you need to fill in, along with your transcripts, your personal statement and letters of recommendation.

3. International Hospitality and Tourism Management

It is natural for most travel and tourism studies to focus on the industry, laws, and cultures of the nation the university is rooted in. But, if you are looking to gain a global outlook, then you must look for this specialization. There are universities, especially abroad that provide undergraduate degrees in International Hospitality and/ or Tourism management. Here, you gain a multicultural perspective on tourism and hospitality. The diversity of the international student community will also be an excellent introduction to building cultural sensitivity.

In addition to the typical courses on tourism and hospitality principles, you will have specialised modules on global tourism, hospitality, and the events industry. You will learn to build and manage luxury brands, manage international events, or even hyper-specialise in international hotel development and finance.

EHL (Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne), Switzerland

University of Nevada, U.S.A

• Glion Institute of Higher Education, Switzerland

To apply, you must have: A high school diploma with transcripts, an original personal statement essay, proof of English proficiency, and be 18 years of age.

You apply online before the deadline expires along with the necessary documents. EHL, for instance, has multiple campuses. So you must choose the one you prefer to go to. Most of these universities do not select candidates only on academic merit. While it is an important criterion, they also look for personal qualities that will help you in the field.

4. B.Sc. in Airlines, Tourism and Management

A three-year course, this is one of the specializations that includes the standard subjects such as lodging, recreation, food, entertainment, convenient travel, and tourism services along with any related support solutions. Aviation management is the additional learning outcome one gets out of this course. Having done this course, you can begin your career as airport ground staff, a steward/ stewardess, or be employed by airline companies and work your way up. These kinds of courses are technology and practice-heavy, designed to kickstart your career at the earliest. You can also use this degree as a stepping stone to further your learning by pursuing an MBA or other postgraduate courses in the discipline.

• Hospitality Management
• Customer Service Management

Keep track of their deadlines, GPA requirements, and copies of transcripts that you will need to submit. The admission process begins with an online application, followed by an entrance test and/or an interview.

5. B.T.A (Bachelor of Tourism Administration)

Another super-specialized course, a B.T.A degree focuses on tourism management including areas such as resort planning and management, tourism development, ecology, environment and tourism, food and beverages and intercultural communication. It is a course that delves deep into the practices of the tourism industry, analysing the positive and negative impacts of tourism on local communities while also developing more sustainable modes of travel that will help the growth of all people involved. Ethics and social responsibility become central to any tourist administrator. This course also provides you with the knowledge and the skills to evaluate relationships between customers and service providers, giving you the data sets to add finesse to your tour operations.

With the colossal expansion of the travel and tourism industry, not just in India, but across the globe, the need for specialised tour administrators is also on the rise. Conventional modes of travel and sightseeing are being replaced by bleasure (business + pleasure) and luxury travel and the world is in need of more qualified professionals with specialized skill-sets to provide these services.

• Tourism Perspectives
• Environment, Ecology and Tourism
• Science and Technology in Tourism
• Communicative English
• Feature/ Digital copywriting

6. B.H.M (Bachelor of Hotel Management)

While not a typical “tourism” course, a B.H.M degree is also an excellent entry pathway into the travel and tourism industry. The hotel industry, which comprises primarily food, beverages, accommodation, and events, works hand in hand with travel and tourism and one cannot separate the two. They are two sides of the same coin. Therefore, as an aspirant, you can also consider entering the travel and tourism industry with a B.H.M degree. The skills you learn here are transferable, as personality development is one of the core requirements for someone in the hospitality sector. You also get to develop quick problem-solving skills and critical thinking, which can be applied in any field.

At the undergraduate level, you will learn the basics of front office management and customer service, nutrition, catering, food and beverages, housekeeping, and accounting. Within these major topics, you will delve into the depths of food production, baking, sustainability, communication systems and management, safety, accommodation management, and so on. Moreover, you will also further your communication skills in English and one foreign language.

• Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL), Switzerland
• Les Roches International School of Hotel Management, Switzerland
• Oxford Brookes University U.K.
• Amity University, Lucknow
• International Institute of Hotel Management, Ahmedabad
• IIHM, Kolkata

While admission criteria can change with most tourism colleges or universities, the basic requirements remain consistent. To get into the top universities of the world to pursue hotel management, you must be 18 years of age or above. You must have completed 10 + 2 years of schooling. You must exhibit a proficient command of the English language and submit the proof in the form of TOEFL or IELTS certificates. At the end of the day, it is your personality, leadership skills, and merit (expressed in your personal statement) that will make you stand out among the other aspirants.

While applying to universities abroad, the admission process begins at least a year in advance. You must ensure that you maintain the required GPA and have all the transcripts handy while filling out the application form. For the universities in India, your admission is based either on the merit of your high school diploma and/or an entrance examination that the university might choose to conduct.

7. Advanced Diplomas in Travel and Tourism

For some students, a conventional degree is a fairly substantial investment, whether it is in terms of the fees, time, or effort involved. If you feel the same or are looking for more practical-based courses that are tailor-made for industry requirements, then, you can always consider a diploma in travel and tourism.

A diploma curriculum, typically, is light on theoretical knowledge but guarantees extensive practical knowledge, customised to fit the travel and tourism industry. The goal of any diploma program is, on completion, to create numerous career options. In essence, they are professional courses developed in tandem with the industry requirements.

In this field, you have numerous diploma options. You can choose to specialise in tourism management, history of travel, aviation management, hotel management, catering, aviation management, business statistics, travel laws, and so on. With the industry growing in leaps and bounds, it is natural that more super-specialized diplomas also come into existence.

A diploma course is typically two years long with a significant practical component that includes an internship or an apprenticeship.

The subjects that you will study for your diploma depend upon the specialisation you choose.

• Les Roches, Switzerland or Spain
• University of Sydney, Australia
• St Xavier’s College, Mumbai
• Inspire Academy, Mumbai
• YMCA Institute for Career Studies, New Delhi

Just like any degree, a diploma also requires 10 + 2 years of schooling and a minimum proficiency in English.

Since these courses are highly sought after, some universities have entrance exams to select candidates. The admission process at the diploma level varies extensively with each university.

This article so far has looked at numerous options in the field of Travel and Tourism that you can pursue after your 12th. Needless to say, you can continue on this learning path even after your bachelor’s degree. At the Master’s level, you narrow down to a niche area and specialise. You have degrees that delve into e-tourism, revenue management, culture studies from a tourism perspective, destination management, sustainable travel, tourism for sports, gastronomy, culinary sciences, bartending and beverages, and so on.

These courses are so niche that, on successful completion, you can find yourself being in demand all over the world.

If you choose to go down the MBA route, then you also have top business schools offering an MBA program tailor-made to fit the requirements of the travel and hospitality industry. You have courses at the postgraduate level, going all the way up to a Ph.D. in Travel and Tourism and while we talk about all kinds of successful career options, let us not forget that you can get into the teaching side of things, inspiring the next generation of travel professionals.

The other alternative is to pursue a certificate course in addition to whichever field you are qualified in. That way, you up-skill yourself and create a niche, combining the skill sets of two different fields. The only thing you have to ensure is that you sign up for a certificate course with an accredited university/ institution.

Here is a list of some of the top universities in the world for tourism, hospitality and leisure management studies.

First party cookies are the cookies served by the owner of the domain. In our case, that's TC Global. Any cookie we place ourselves is a "first-party cookie."

Third-party cookies are cookies placed on our domains by trusted partners that we've allowed to do so. These can be social media partners, advertising partners, security providers, and more. And they can be either "session cookies" or "permanent cookies":

Session cookies only exist until you close your browser, ending what's called your "session." Then they're deleted.

Permanent cookies have a range of lifespans and stay on your device after the browser is closed. On the Site, we try to only serve permanent cookies (or allow permanent cookies to be served by third parties) that have a limited lifespan. However, for security reasons or in other exceptional circumstances, sometimes we may need to give a cookie a longer lifespan.

Web browser cookies may store info such as your IP address or other identifiers, your browser type, and info about the content you view and interact with on digital services. By storing this info, web browser cookies can remember your preferences and settings for online services and analyze how you use them.

Along with cookies, we also use tracking technologies that are very similar. Our Site may contain small transparent image files or lines of code that record how you interact with them. These include "web beacons," "scripts," "tracking URLs," or "software development kits" (known as SDKs):

Web beacons have a lot of different names. They might also be known as web bugs, tracking bugs, tags, web tags, page tags, tracking pixels, pixel tags, 1x1 GIFs, or clear GIFs. In short, these beacons are a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your device as part of a web page request, in an app, an advertisement, or an HTML email message. They can be used to retrieve info from your device, such as your device type, operating system, IP address, and the time of your visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser or to trigger the placement of a cookie.

Scripts are small computer programs embedded within our web pages that give those pages a wide variety of extra functionality. Scripts make it possible for the website to function properly. For example, scripts power certain security features and enable basic interactive features on our website. Scripts can also be used for analytical or advertising purposes. For example, a script can collect info about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit or what you search for.

Tracking URLs are links with a unique identifier in them. These are used to track which website brought you to the Site. An example woold be if you clicked from a social media page, search engine, or one of our affiliate partners' websites.

Software Development Kits (SDKs) are part of our apps' source code. Unlike browser cookies, SDK data is stored in the app storage. They're used to analyze how the apps are being used or to send personalized push notifications. To do this, they record unique identifiers associated with your device, like your device ID, IP address, in-app activity, and network location.

All these tracking technologies are referred to as "cookies" here in this Cookie Statement. However, no Personal Information identifying the user is collected nor any data capture mechanisms are employed. The user may change browser settings to accept or reject cookies on personal preference. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify the browser setting to decline cookies if you so prefer.
