Course Overview

The BA in Tourism Management gives you a structured route into tourism management inside a tourism, travel and aviation setting, delivered by the London School of International Luxury Hospitality & Hotel Management (LSILHHM), a division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs for approximately 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) and Institute of Travel and Tourism (ITT), giving you a full honours-level view of hospitality strategy, revenue, brand and global operations with placement experience. LSILHHM has built the BA in Tourism Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern full-service airline operation.

Alongside the taught modules, you will study a structured curriculum that connects ground handling to reservations and ticketing and tourism operations inside a tour operator setting, so on completion of the course, you will be equipped to take a graduate-manager remit inside an international hospitality group, contribute to commercial reviews and progress on a fast-track leadership pathway. The taught content on the BA in Tourism Management moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working tourism, travel and aviation settings.

The tourism, travel and aviation sector continues to expand across the UK and internationally, and employers consistently ask for graduates who understand both the service side of the business and the commercial framework that sits behind it. The BA in Tourism Management responds to that demand by keeping every module close to real operational settings. The BA in Tourism Management sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning full-service airline.
