Course Overview

The Certificate in Global Tourism Awareness consolidates your skill set across global tourism awareness 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 3 to 6 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), giving you introductory awareness of the day-to-day service standards, vocabulary and guest-facing routines that support this discipline. The Certificate in Global Tourism Awareness sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning destination management company.

Alongside the taught modules, you will study a structured curriculum that connects destination marketing to ground handling and reservations and ticketing inside a travel agency setting, so when you finish the course, you will be ready to welcome and orient guests, describe service standards accurately, follow arrival, service and departure routines, and progress into a Diploma route with confidence. LSILHHM has built the Certificate in Global Tourism Awareness to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern destination management company operation.

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 Certificate in Global Tourism Awareness responds to that demand by keeping every module close to real operational settings. Applied exercises across the Certificate in Global Tourism Awareness draw on the routines and standards used inside UK and international tourism, travel and aviation businesses, so nothing you study feels detached from the industry.
