Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. May, Mr C. Grant.

Tourism and Hospitality Management is designed for students interested in exploring a career in tourism and hospitality industries or studying these courses at tertiary level. The course will also be beneficial for those wanting to pursue a career in any industry working with people.  The course is project based with a high degree of student autonomy. The content of the course provides students with a range of learning experiences within the tourism and hospitality industries. Students will gain a better understanding of what skills are required in the industry, including personal and interpersonal communication and management, financial management, and resource planning skills that sit alongside the technical skills required to work in these industries. 

This is a Unit Standard based course. Students may also elect to take Tourism, Hospitality, Cafe Operations, as there will be no crossover of standards.

There may be opportunities for students to complete a mini-internship through the Careers and Pathways Department, where students can experience their knowledge and skills in a practical setting associated with their chosen specialist area.

Students will have the opportunity to attend the Tourism and Hospitality Queenstown Experience, which is a five day field trip to Queenstown that focuses on studying and working in this incredible location.
