TOUR11004  The Business of Tourism: Core Skills

An ability to master generic written, oral and research skills is essential to effective functioning in the business and tourism environments. Equally important is an awareness of ethical issues and responsibilities, both in working as a team member and in terms of individual and industry standards. This course provides an introduction to these basic concepts in an interactive format in which the students are encouraged to apply the information to ’real world' scenarios, including their own experiences.

The course is designed as a core course in the Bachelor of Tourism and aims at equipping students with a range of written, oral, and research skills that underpin the other courses in this program.

Assessment is by way of assignment, case study, presentations, and mid-term examination.
