Course summary

In recent years, the UK has established itself as a real alternative to Mediterranean beach holiday destinations and trends towards more sustainable ‘green’ tourism offer great opportunities to creative entrepreneurs, whether you prefer to run your own business, work for a multi-national organization, work abroad or on Worcester High Street. The units studied will allow you to explore the business as well as the leisure industry. You will learn a variety of transferable skills that universities and employers are looking for such as communication skills, independent research, working with a team, and meeting deadlines. If you like people, exploring, and travel, it’s about you! In Year One, you will study the World of Travel and Tourism and Principles of Marketing. In Year Two, you will study Global Destinations and either Visitor Attractions or Events, Conferences, and Exhibitions (topic to be chosen by your teacher).
