    Hey did anyone do a tourism course in college?
    What did you think of it?
    What were you studying?
    What jobs can you get from doing this course?

    I ain't doing tourism, doing Arts.

    But if you do tourism it would likely incorporate elements of Geography, Sociology and maybe some language modules.

    If your interested look at jobs along the lines of holiday resort planning, tourist accomodation organising and flight reception.

    Make sure any course you do is IATA certified, if it can be.

    Tourism courses at ITs are mostly business orientated.

    Languages & Geography may be a part (languages more than geography actually) - but mostly it's a specialised business course for the tourism industry.

    The tourism industry is diverse, lots of possible employment areas but make sure you pick a course that gives you skills that are above what one can learn on the job in a few months or you might just be in strong competition with less qualified workers.

    I'm currently finishing a Tourism Management Bachelor.
