Tourism - Travel
Overview - 2017/2018
Travel isn't just about going places, it's about experiencing the aromas, tastes and passions of a culture. As a graduate of the Tourism and Travel program, you'll bring the world to your clients with expert advice and a personal touch.
If you're a people person, but you also have a passion for discovering what the world has to offer and helping others reach their goals, whether those are in a different province or on the other side of the globe, this program is for you. You'll focus on travel consulting, customer sales and service, tariffs and ticketing, group tours, package holidays, accommodations, airline service and reservations.
You'll learn basics such as world geography as well as the latest computer technology, and you'll apply your skills during a Co-op placement that will not only show you the ins and outs of the tourism and travel industry but will also help you make valuable connections in the field.
When you graduate, you might work in a travel agency or a government tourism office, but you'll be bringing the world to your clients, and your clients to the world.

Tourism is a significant component of the New Zealand economy contributing to job creation and export revenues. It also has a major role in rejuvenating and sustaining regional economies. According to Tourism New Zealand the two main reasons tourists' travel to New Zealand is to experience our beautiful landscape and distinct Maori culture.
