Diploma in Tourism Revenue Management
Course Overview
The Diploma in Tourism Revenue Management is a 9 to 12-month UK Level 4-equivalent LSTITM programme. It sits within the Tourism and Destination Management department and is aligned with study standards used by the Tourism Society, ITT and CIM, developing supervisory competence in pricing, forecasting and revenue optimisation across attractions, tour operators and inbound suppliers.
By graduation you will manage pricing calendars, coordinate forecasting sprints, and lead junior revenue analysts through routine yield-management scenarios in tourism-facing businesses.
Modules combine live seminars on pricing calendars, applied case work on forecasting cycles and small-team exercises where supervisors draft weekly commercial reviews. Case examples reference live London tour operator scenarios, so supervisory vocabulary always maps back to real yield-management practice inside revenue teams.
