BA in Tourism Revenue Management
Course Overview
The BA in Tourism Revenue Management is a full honours-level degree delivered by LSTITM in London over 36 months full-time, with a shorter top-up route available for holders of a Higher Diploma or Advanced Diploma. Aligned with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), Tourism Society and Chartered Management Institute (CMI) practice and referencing IATA industry standards, the programme combines applied pricing, distribution and forecasting disciplines with hands-on operator and OTA casework so that graduates can talk credibly about revenue systems across UK travel brands.
By graduation, you will be a placement-tested tourism revenue-management graduate able to run a small pricing cycle, coordinate a distribution mix and produce industry-referenced revenue write-ups suitable for tour operators, OTAs, airlines and destinations. The programme includes a supervised placement inside a UK operator, OTA or airline so that final-year work is genuinely industry-tested and portfolio-ready. Final-year modules blend research methods, quantitative revenue casework and a dissertation-style capstone that brings pricing, distribution and forecasting thinking together for a defensible portfolio piece at graduate interview.
