Program description
An Entrepreneurship Major or Minor in the Bachelor of Tourism Management (BTM) programme will assist in the development of tourism professionals with the knowledge and skills required to effectively compete in a dynamic environment, identify existing and emerging market opportunities, and develop ventures to capitalise on them.
Professionals will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully run these ventures as they navigate the choppy waters of their industry and mature into mature, innovative, and thriving organisations.
Develop an understanding of tourism as both an industry and an important sociocultural activity in today’s increasingly mobile world. Students explore tourism’s social, environmental, and economic contexts while developing strong management skills that will position them to thrive in public, non-profit, and commercial sector organizations — or to join tourism’s dynamic entrepreneurial scene by creating or growing new ventures of their own.
