Travel,
Tourism and Hospitality |
 |
| Introduction |
 |
It
is widely accepted that the travel, tourism and hospitality
industry today is the largest and most pervasive sector
within the global economy. It is an industry that comprises
many components (historical attractions, theme parks, travel
agents, airlines, museums, hotels and restaurants among
others) in both the public and private sectors of most
countries. Attracting visitors is high on the economic
agenda of all countries, states and cities. What travel,
tourism and hospitality, world-wide, have in common is
the need to provide quality services to increasingly discerning
customers in a business-orientated manner. This need requires
management leadership in all the main functional business
areas (finance, marketing, human resource management, and
operations) as well as the strategic leadership associated
with general management. ABE’s Diploma and Advanced
Diploma qualifications in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality
provide a pathway through which students aspiring to
management roles in the sector can develop a combination of
key business skills and industry knowledge in preparation for
the varied and demanding careers which the industry offers.
Candidates at all levels can use the
combination of business and vocational subjects which they
have pursued as a route to rewarding employment or as a
stepping stone to further study in colleges and universities
world-wide. The Travel, Tourism and Hospitality pathway
is structured identically with that in ABE’s Business
Administration and Business Information Systems programs,
is of a comparable level and shares a number of business
subjects with them. |
