They learn about traveler motivation and consumer needs and how these factors affect current lodging, transportation, food and beverage, and entertainment sectors. Learners consider the economic and environmental impacts of the industry on the world today and receive exposure to a wide array of domestic and international travel. Finally, they learn the basics of selling and marketing in tourism.
