Diploma in International Travel Management
Course Overview
The Diploma in International Travel Management expands your professional practice in international travel 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 9 to 12 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and Airports Council International (ACI), giving you practitioner-level competence to run a shift, deliver a section and coordinate a small team to brand standard. The taught content on the Diploma in International Travel Management moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working tourism, travel and aviation settings.
Through applied case work, you will study a structured curriculum that connects ground handling to reservations and ticketing and tourism operations inside a tour operator setting, so by the point of graduation, you will be able to run a shift, brief a small team, maintain brand standards, hit service targets and step into a first supervisory role. Applied exercises across the Diploma in International Travel Management 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.
Employers across the tourism, travel and aviation sector look for candidates who can move confidently between guest-facing service and back-of-house reporting. The Diploma in International Travel Management is built to cover both sides of that skill picture. LSILHHM has built the Diploma in International Travel Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern destination management company operation.
