The hospitality industry is one of the largest industries in the world. Each year progressively more meals and bed nights are purchased, which is why the hotel industry is experiencing rapid growth. Customers are becoming ever more demanding in their requirements for high standards of service and facilities. It is only through organised and structured training that the industry can meet these expectations.
The Advanced Diploma in Tour Operation and Management aims to provide an understanding of the managerial, decision making and leadership aspects of the international tour operation industry and to develop the independent research skills which will be required when working as a senior manager in the industry. The scheme has been devised on the basis that students will attend a course of study of not less than 450 contact hours. Private study will be required over and above this figure. Each of the modules has a 3 hour examination, set and marked by CTH.
