MSc in Tourism Revenue Management
Course Overview
The MSc in Tourism Revenue Management is a 12 to 18-month LSTITM postgraduate programme in the Tourism and Destination Management department. It prepares senior practitioners to run and lead tourism revenue-management programmes across operators, OTAs and destination-linked hospitality. The MSc is aligned with references from IATA, CIM and the Tourism Society.
By graduation you will hold a research-informed Master's, a dissertation of at least 15,000 words on a live revenue-management question and a portfolio of board-ready pricing and yield decisions. The programme layers case studies, structured tutorials and applied assessments across destination branding, visitor economies, community-focused tourism and inbound market development, giving senior practitioners and consultancy leads a route into destination management, tour operations and inbound tourism that recruiters can quickly read on a CV. You will exit the course able to demonstrate front-line judgement in interview scenarios and to answer probing questions about how DMOs, tourism boards, inbound operators and heritage sites operate in the current UK market.
