Course Overview
The BA in Luxury Tourism Management is a full honours and placement Bachelor (BA / BSc) programme delivered over a duration band of 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma). It sits within the LSILHHM department of Luxury Hospitality & Resort Management and is written to align with the practice standards referenced by Global Wellness Institute and Institute of Luxury Home Marketing, giving applicants credible, industry-referenced study across five-star and boutique luxury hospitality. The BA in Luxury Tourism Management is designed for students who want a UK-referenced credential in luxury tourism management that maps clearly onto the way modern hotel, resort and travel employers organise their teams, brand standards and guest-experience metrics.
By graduation, students on the BA in Luxury Tourism Management are able to own a strategic brief, design a commercial plan and run a brand refresh study in London luxury hotels and five-star resort operators, and understand how luxury tourism management sits alongside the wider disciplines of VIP guest relations, bespoke service design, concierge and butler service. The programme is built around applied case work, portfolio evidence and structured reflection so that every student leaves the BA in Luxury Tourism Management with a defensible piece of work they can present at interview when moving into graduate management scheme entry.
