About this course

Prepare for a career in tourism, a fast growing industry which offers a wide range of potential career opportunities around the globe, at ARU London. Expand on your experience of tourism in the UK, while developing knowledge of today’s modern business world. The UK’s tourism sector is an economic powerhouse.

Generating £106 billion a year, employing over 2 million people and supporting thousands of businesses, it’s a vital part of the UK and global economy. Our BSc (Hons) Business and Tourism Management degree is designed to give you the key business skills needed for a successful career in this sector. There’s a particular focus on the current challenges facing the tourism industry, including sustainability, ethical tourism, diverse competition and crisis management.

Tourism is recognised as a leading sector in the UK Government’s future economic planning. Along with the tourism agency VisitBritain, they are building a significant and long-lasting strategy to drive economic growth, focusing on increasing productivity through developing skills, career paths, and building seasonality. The tourism industry is, therefore, driving demand for specialist graduates who not only understand both the theories of business and tourism management but are equipped with practical experience.
