This business degree program in Hospitality and Tourism Management has been designed to meet the demands of employers for the strategic, technological and managerial skills now necessary in this exciting and dynamic industry.
To meet these demands, the program combines the theory and knowledge of degrees in business administration and tourism studies with experiential learning in tourism industry sectors. This is a business degree, built on the platform of a solid business education - marketing, accounting, economics and law. Throughout the program, you will engage in analyzing a series of business and management scenarios for which you will prepare recommendations and solutions. The program also emphasizes an international scope through case studies that reflect the global nature of the tourism industry.
You have the first two years of the Hospitality and Tourism Management degree program in which to choose your specific field, and the next two years to complete your specialization. In years three and four, you will focus on advanced tourism industry management and the application of technology in tourism strategic, marketing and distribution systems. You will use software applications and apply advanced financial management skills to tourism business operations and performance.
The distinctive edge of a Hospitality and Tourism Management degree is that you acquire professional experience while attending classes. That is, you obtain an integrated degree. You will interact with the professional world through career placements and industry-linked projects, and will be guided by faculty with professional experience in research, education and industry. Graduates will have a competitive edge in the tourism business world, both in Canada and internationally, or may use their skills and expertise to continue on with graduate work.
Tourism is the world's fastest growing industry and in Ontario alone, employment in the sector grows at an annual rate of five per cent. Today's tourism business leaders seek employees who have both the knowledge and experience necessary to make immediate contributions to the workplace. There are opportunities with employers throughout the industry: tourism suppliers (airlines, hotels, restaurant/ foodservice); attractions; wholesalers; retailers/distributors; hotels and resorts, destination management and marketing organiza- tions and trade associations. Graduates of the Hospitality and Tourism degree would also be qualified for many positions with provincial and federal tourism boards and international hospitality management organizations. The variety of courses is equally impressive, leading to careers in business management, business analysis, destination management, account and revenue management, hospitality operations management, customer service management, marketing and event management. You will also be well prepared to own and operate your own small tourism business venture.
