BA in Tourism Marketing Management
Course Overview
The BA in Tourism Marketing Management is an LSILHHM Bachelor programme running across a 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) study window, delivered in both on-campus and online formats. The programme delivers a full honours-level treatment of tourism marketing management inside the tourism, travel and aviation sector and is aligned with recognised UK and international standards set by bodies such as the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and the Airports Council International (ACI). Every module in the BA in Tourism Marketing Management is designed to be portable across full-service airlines and destination management companies, so what you learn in London translates cleanly into international tourism, travel and aviation settings.
By the time you complete the BA in Tourism Marketing Management, you will have built the strategy, commercial performance, brand and global operations that a tourism, travel and aviation employer expects. You will be ready to enter a graduate management scheme or a strategic post in international hospitality, confident in professional communication, and able to demonstrate a portfolio of honours-level exercises rooted in real hospitality, travel and luxury service scenarios. Assessment is applied and evidence-based, mirroring the tasks a graduate-manager and strategic team member handles on shift or in a head-office project, with clear progression open into the MSc / MA postgraduate route.
