Diploma in Tourism Digital Systems
Course Overview
The Diploma in Tourism Digital Systems is a Diploma programme within LSTITM's Tourism Business, Marketing & Operations portfolio, focused on practitioner-level digital systems used across tourism business and marketing operations. Delivered across a 9 to 12 months duration band, the programme is aligned with UK tourism-sector standards referenced by British Chambers of Commerce and Tourism Society, and gives students structured, industry-referenced practice from the first week of study. Students explore operating tourism CRMs, booking platforms and reporting tools through a mix of tutor-led seminars, case-based labs and applied projects drawn from real London tourism organisations.
By the end of the Diploma in Tourism Digital Systems, students should be able to operate core tourism CRMs, booking dashboards and reporting tools with confidence and accuracy. The syllabus mixes applied case study, tutor-led coaching and structured assessment so learners graduate ready to contribute to real tourism teams across London and internationally. Assessment blends short written pieces, applied projects and structured peer review so students build a portfolio they can share with prospective employers as evidence of ready-to-work practice.
Students on the Diploma in Tourism Digital Systems join a peer group drawn from destination operators, travel-agency chains, DMOs and international tourism boards, and are taught by tutors with prior operational and strategic tourism experience across the UK sector. Guest speakers from Chartered Management Institute (CMI)-referenced organisations, London consultancies and tour operators contribute short masterclasses throughout the programme, giving students direct sight of live industry challenges and current recruitment expectations.
