International Studies in Tourism Management - Career Opportunities
Tourism
is the largest growth industry world wide. Whether in the private or business
travel market, the range of tourism offerings is more diverse and international
than ever before. Attractive tourist offers are created from a combination of
services provided by hotels, club resorts, congress centres, airlines, and car
hire companies around the world. These developments have created challenging and
fascinating job areas in the tourist business. A special challenge in this
respect is the overcoming of cultural and language barriers when working with
international business partners. There is a demand for staff in middle and
senior management who have a sound grounding in business administration and
tourism and who are able to operate confidently within an international working
environment. What career opportunities are open to you after studying tourism?

Like no other sector, the tourist industry offers you the chance to work not only for companies at home, but to spend parts of your career or indeed your entire working life at different locations abroad.
The
design and content of the course 'International Tourism Assistant' gives
graduates a good basis to do a professional and successful job later on
in the workplace. The up-to-date topics covered, whether broad in scope or
tourism oriented, are strikingly varied and equip graduates to cope with the
daily demands of their subsequent jobs. During the placements, the students are
introduced to all relevant aspects of sales promo-tion and also take on their
own projects.
Our experience of graduates from the HIB Academy is very positive and in several
cases this has led to an offer of permanent employment.
