Why Choose Our Tourism Courses Online?

You really only have to look at the figures to understand the scope and importance of travel and tourism. In 2014 for example, the industry collectively added a mind-blowing $7.5 trillion to the global economy. International tourist arrival numbers once again peaked at close to 1.1 billion, with the online travel market having contributed $340 billion to the industry’s total takings. It’s an industry that even in the face of political and economic turbulence seems incapable of faltering.

Travel and tourism takes many forms, but largely centres around the movement of people for business and leisure purposes alike. From family holidays to business trips and more, demand for high-quality travel services on a worldwide basis has never been stronger. It’s an incredibly dynamic field that encompasses tour operators, airlines, High Street travel agents, hotels, restaurants, excursion providers and many more besides. In every instance however, the world is reliant on the skills and experience of travel and tourism operatives to provide enjoyable, affordable and accessible travel.
