Program Requirements

Concentrations.

The program requires the completion of 128 credits, and students may choose one of six concentrations listed below.

The BS in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management prepares students for a wide range of careers in hotels, restaurants, catering companies, real estate and management services companies, online travel agencies, marketing and PR firms, destination marketing organizations, event companies and consulting firms. The degree has six concentrations:

Event Management

This concentration explores career opportunities in festivals, weddings and social events, trade shows, and experiential marketing.

The event sector is growing fast, and offers a wealth of career opportunities. Whether you are interested in festivals, weddings, business conventions or sporting events, this concentration will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this exciting field.

Event planning, design and production are a central focus of this concentration. Event planners/producers coordinate every detail of the event: from the venue and speakers to arranging for printed materials and audio-visual equipment. They develop the concept for the event, and liaise with suppliers and staff. Event planners/producers may work for non-profit organizations, associations, hotels, corporations, and government. Many are independent business owners and coordinate events for a range of clients.

Events can also play an important role in a company’s marketing strategy. Experiential or event marketing is a promotional strategy that involves face-to-face contact between companies and their customers at special events like concerts, fairs, and sporting events. Brands use event marketing entertainment (like shows, contests, or parties) to reach consumers through direct hand-to-hand sampling or interactive displays.

Marketing and Analytics

In this concentration, students study hospitality and travel sales and marketing, as well as strategies and processes that optimize a business’s revenues.

The marketing and analytics concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the marketing functions of hospitality businesses.  Professionals in marketing and branding roles need strong analytical skills as they conduct market research, oversee multimedia advertising campaigns, and consult with outside agencies, promotional representatives and corporate executives.

Marketers and revenue managers currently evolve in an increasingly digital and data-driven environment. They are tasked to develop and implement strategies to maximize the business's revenues and profitability. On the basis of daily reports, they make predictions of demand and make distribution channels and pricing decisions. They also leverage the power of loyalty programs and optimize the entire guest acquisition phase; in partnership with travel agencies - on and offline - and other travel intermediaries.

Leadership and Management

This concentration focuses on the operational aspects of hospitality businesses – a great concentration for budding general managers!

The leadership and management concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the operational aspects of hospitality businesses. This is an attractive concentration for budding general managers, as the concentration includes aspects of sales and marketing, food and beverage management, but also leadership and law. Hotel operations roles are available in a wide range of departments: front desk, catering, events, housekeeping and human resources. Professionals in operations oversee the daily activities of their teams, and aim to ensure guest satisfaction.

Hotel Real Estate Finance and Development

This concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial management and the hotel development process.

The hotel real estate finance and development concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial management and the hotel development process. Hotel finance careers may include responsibilities such as overseeing the financial processes of the hotel, maintaining audits and reports, producing monthly income statements, and coordinating budgets and forecasts. The hospitality sector is mostly associated with the hotel industry, however, many other asset classes fall into this sector, including large scale resorts, spas, timeshares, restaurants and casinos.

Another aspect of this concentration is hotel development and asset management. Many well-known hotel brand names do not own the building in which the hotel operates, but rather contract their management and brand name to the owner for a fee. Owners and real estate investment trusts employ analysts to maximize the returns earned by the property. Hotel investment professionals produce valuations, and make recommendations about the development of new assets or the remodeling of existing assets.

Travel and Tourism Development

This concentration prepares students for careers in destination marketing organizations, (online) travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, PR firms, and visitor attractions.

The travel and tourism industry has shown remarkable resilience in the face of economic challenges, geopolitical conditions and natural disasters. It remains one of the largest and fastest growing industry sectors in the world. Graduate tourism degrees prepare students for a wealth of careers in the public, private and voluntary sectors. WTTC estimates that the travel and tourism sectors support 292 million jobs worldwide, or 1 in every 10 jobs.

The travel and tourism development concentration prepares students for careers in destination marketing organizations, (online) travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, event companies, development agencies, marketing and PR firms and visitor attractions. Students will explore various aspects of this large and multi-faceted sector, including casinos, special interest tourism products, sports tourism and mega-events, entrepreneurship and destination marketing.

Entrepreneurship

In this concentration, students will learn the different aspects of the typical entrepreneurship journey: from ideation, to prototyping,  to business launch, and management as applied to hospitality.

Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in innovation, economic development and competitiveness. The entrepreneurship concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the crucial role that entrepreneurship plays in the travel and hospitality business. It also provides them with the entrepreneurial and innovative mindset sought after by many employers. The courses offer an overview of the different aspects of the typical entrepreneurship cycle, from ideation to business launch and management. Courses in this concentration are experiential,  applying theory to real world problems and opportunities.

There are few more appropriate and relevant places to earn a degree in tourism than in Rome, one of the world’s most important tourist destinations. Rome is often described as the world’s largest outdoor museum, and while this is certainly accurate, the city is anything but an artificial theme park. It is a vibrant, modern European capital that has retained its political and economic relevance in Europe for more than two thousand years.

Career choices

The travel and tourism sector offers myriad career opportunities for those with business management skills. This expanding industry encompasses the marketing and service management of all forms of accommodation services, transportation for both leisure and business, cultural activities, and more. New enterprises and innovations in the industry are constantly springing up, and so too are new career opportunities.

Field Studies

We prepare students for flexible career paths through a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge. These are learned through classroom instruction, field trips, seminars with travel and tourism experts, and hands-on experience. Travel and Tourism Management majors will have the opportunity to gain real-world experience through internships in local tourism-related environments such as hotels, festivals, museums, media companies, and travel agencies.

Field Study Trips for credit

The Travel and Tourism Management Program offers a range of experiential academic trips and site visits both within Italy and throughout Europe. These opportunities to enhance the theoretical knowledge of the classroom with practical, hands-on experience are an invaluable element of studying at AUR. Recent examples include:

• Tasting Castelli Romani: Place branding through food and wine.
• Exploring Italy’s natural wonders in South Tyrol: The Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Fashion Outlet Tourism: Rome’s world of affordable luxury.
• Olive Oil production & tourism opportunities in Umbria
• Terme dei Papi spa in Viterbo: Studying a joint public & private tourism promotion project.

Travel & Tourism internship opportunities

AUR’s Travel and Tourism Management curriculum is specifically designed to let students acquire the planning and management skills related to the growth and development of tourism throughout the world. The ‘real-world experience’ elements of the program are further enhanced by a robust internship program. Recent internship opportunities have included:

• Walt Disney World (EPCOT-Italian Pavilion)
• Vatican Museums
• Rome Chamber Music Festival
• Agriturismo Diacceroni (Tuscany)
• Context Travel (Rome based travel agency)
• Hotel Project (Rome based Hotel consulting company)

Unique concentrations within Travel and Tourism Management: Food Tourism and Cultural Heritage Tourism

Travel and Tourism Management students can choose to specialize their studies in Food Tourism or Cultural & Heritage Tourism.

Cultural and Heritage Tourism Cultural and Heritage Tourism is a leading sector in Italy, fueled by its immense wealth of artistic, archaeological and architectural treasure, thanks to which it is ranked first in the world for the number of UNESCO World Heritage sites it contains. Students interested in specializing in this area of the travel and tourism industry may concentrate their degree studies in Cultural and Heritage Tourism.

Food Tourism Italy is (rightly) renowned around the world for its cuisine. An increased tourist interest in local food traditions and the farm-to-table movement have driven an explosion in the food tourism business. Italy is the world’s top producer of wine, a leading producer of fine olive oil, parmesan, and prosciutto, to name just a few products that make it such a heavyweight in the global food market. Students interested in working for organizations involved in the production or promotion of Italy’s unique food traditions can take a concentration in Food Tourism.

Career destinations

AUR's Travel & Tourism Management program provides students with both industry-specialized skills and knowledge and overarching management & business training. This means that graduates of the program are career-ready to enter the travel & tourism job market but they also have transferable skills which are highly desirable across a range of career options including Luxury Travel management, Heritage Site management, Convention and Visitors Bureau management, Marketing management, Communications management, Event management, and much more.

If you like the travel industry, then you should consider exploring the top travel and tourism courses to turn your interest into a sustainable career. We look at the best ones here.

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 career opportunities after studying Travel and Tourism?
• 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.

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.

At the undergraduate level, you will also be required to submit your SAT/ ACT or other equivalent scores. In addition, along with your application form, an original personal essay must be uploaded.

It is always good to have a list of your target universities and prepare for their admission processes well in advance. 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
• Principles of Tourism management
• Tourism marketing and so on

You shortlist the universities of your choosing and apply to them through their online portals. You upload the required transcripts along with your statement of purpose. The selection criteria is typically merit along with an aspiring student’s ability to stand apart from the rest of the crowd.

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.

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.
