“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert
The Travel and Tourism sector is one of the largest global industries, offering a wide range of exciting career opportunities across transport, accommodation, attractions and destination management. The Tech Award in Travel and Tourism allows students to explore how the industry operates, how destinations are developed and promoted, and how customer needs are met in a competitive, fast-paced environment.
As the world becomes increasingly connected, travel plays a vital role in cultural understanding, economic growth and personal development. This course encourages students to think critically about tourism’s impact on destinations and communities, while developing practical skills such as customer service, research, organisation and communication.
Students engage in interactive and vocational learning experiences, including case studies, role-play scenarios (such as dealing with customers and planning itineraries), and applied projects linked to real tourism organisations. This ensures learning is meaningful, relevant and clearly connected to the working world.
