In New Zealand, it is a vital source of foreign exchange earnings and job creation. Domestic tourism is also vital to the economy – by some measures it is bigger than international tourism.
The industry has grown rapidly in NZ and elsewhere during recent decades with growth during the past decade being particularly strong.
This qualification is for candidates who have staircased through undergraduate tourism qualifications, and who want to study more advanced papers.
Students who wish to embark on more advanced papers in tourism may choose to enrol directly in the one year postgraduate diploma.
The postgraduate diploma also caters for those already in the industry who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge base at a more advanced level.
WHAT THIS PROGRAMME COVERS
Through a variety of specialised papers, students will enhance their knowledge and perception of tourism as both a discipline and an industry.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
