This
three-part course is designed for the individual who is looking for a career
in travel, tourism and hospitality management. On successful completion of
the course, you are awarded the ABE Advanced Diploma in Travel, Tourism and
Hospitality.
It is widely accepted that the travel, tourism and hospitality industry
today is the largest and most dynamic sector within the global economy. It
is an industry that comprises many components (for example, historical
attractions, theme parks, travel agents, airlines, museums, hotels and
restaurants) in both the public and private sectors of every country. The
central feature of travel, tourism and hospitality throughout the world is
the need to provide quality services to increasingly discerning customers.
This need requires effective management in all the main functional business
areas (finance, marketing, human resource management, and operations) as
well as the strategic leadership associated with general management.
ABE’s qualifications in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality provide a pathway
through which students aspiring to management roles in the sector can
develop a combination of key business skills and industry knowledge in
preparation for the varied and demanding careers which the industry offers.
ABE graduates can use the combination of business and vocational subjects
which they have pursued as a route to rewarding employment or as a stepping
stone to further study in colleges and universities world-wide.
