Tourism Management

Will you make a difference in the future of tourism? This professional bachelor’s programme focuses on promoting innovative and sustainable tourism through experience design and technology. Are you ready to become a changemaker striving for positive change in worldwide tourism?

Just think of creating cool travel concepts, in which you pay special attention to memorable experiences, sustainable practices, and unique places to stay. Make travel fun and responsible by making people aware of how they travel. Think about how you can create a positive impact to make both the destination and the tourist ready for the future. Discover and combine new ways of hospitality in tourism to exceed travellers' expectations, giving them lasting memories. During this course, you will not only learn about tourism, but also actively experience it.

Tourism and recreation businesses face the challenge of maintaining their position in the fast-paced world of e-business. It requires traditional companies to develop new products and alternative customer approaches. This is what you will learn during your degree programme Tourism Management at Breda University of Applied Sciences.

Specialisations

• Travel Mobility. Exploring and developing responsible ways of travelling. An example of a challenge is the question: How can you motivate the adventurous traveller to travel by train instead of by plane? What solutions can you come up with - for example, for Eurail - to make rail travel within Europe easier?
• Tourism Hospitality. Exploring and combining new forms of hospitality in tourism. How can you lift hospitality to a higher level and blend it seamlessly into products like cruises, holiday resorts and day trip destinations?  
• Destination Development. Designing attractive tourism destinations for both visitors and residents.
• Travel Experience Design. Transforming travellers’ expectations into unforgettable experiences. Using ‘Design Thinking’, you will solve complex problems for various travel companies, learn to create experience prototypes and do experiments and tests with these. Our Newways training company also falls under this theme.
