In this degree, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the tourism sector, underscored by sustainability principles. You will develop core business skills in areas such as financial management, leadership, management, marketing and strategic management, and enhance these with an understanding of how to manage employment relations in a culturally diverse context. Thanks to Griffith's close working relationship with the major hotel chains in South East Queensland and tourism operators, you will have the chance to gain knowledge from guest speakers and experience via a wide range of innovative work-integrated learning activities. You will learn industry-standard systems and graduate with the skills and knowledge employers want, and be fully aware of the culture, service and competitive aspects of international tourism and hotel corporations. You'll be well prepared for work in a range of international tourism and hotel management roles, including in hotel and resort groups and the accommodation sector. You could also find employment opportunities in independent restaurants and internationally recognised chains, with entertainment and leisure providers, such as theme parks, with suppliers of goods and services to the hospitality industry, in airlines, and with local, state and federal tourism and regional planning authorities.
