The tourism industry is transforming and adapting to a new normal after the pandemic. This study package consists of six highly relevant tourism and hospitality courses designed to refresh and enhance your expertise in contemporary tourism. You can also choose to sign up for the courses separately.
Maria Blomstedt, Former student of Tourism in a changing world
Even though I have been in the tourism business for quite many years already, every one of these courses gave me the possibility to learn and relearn the latest knowledge and research within the tourism and hospitality business. I specifically appreciated the conversations we had with the teachers and the other students (both national and international ones) – many contact networks as well as new business ideas were born during the courses. If you believe in tourism – take this study package. You will not regret it!
All courses can be taken entirely online, with optional campus attendance for workshops if desired. The studies are mainly designed for people who already have some knowledge of tourism, meaning either work experience or previous studies from tourism or the hospitality industry.
The pandemic has affected the tourism industry drastically. We now invite you to join us to sharpen your knowledge and make you ready for tomorrow's reality within travel.
If you are unemployed or furloughed, you will receive a 50% discount of this course package.
