Why Travel and Tourism Management?
Tourism is the largest and fastest growing industry in the world with over a billion
people traveling annually. Strong national and global demand has resulted in more
destinations building and strengthening their tourism attractions, facilities and
infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Labor projects increased demand and employment
growth rate for the leisure, travel and hospitality industries. Thus, graduates with
relevant education and skill sets are in high demand as the industry evolves along
with rapid advances in technology and globalization.
