Tourism Management

Tourism management addresses one of the world's largest economic sectors, examining how travel and tourism industries are organised, operated, and developed, and how they interact with the destinations, communities, and environments they depend on. It is a discipline that combines business and management skills with an understanding of the cultural, social, and environmental dimensions of tourism, preparing graduates to work effectively across an industry that spans everything from airlines and hotels to national parks and heritage sites.

This four-year full-time degree at Liverpool Hope University includes a foundation year and develops your understanding of the tourism industry's operational components, including accommodation, transport, attractions, and events, alongside the policy and planning frameworks that guide sustainable tourism development. The programme combines taught content with practical approaches, including industry visits, guest speakers, national and international fieldwork, and real-world case studies, all of which bring the subject to life and connect academic study to professional practice. A sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement opportunities are all built into the degree, giving you substantial industry experience and international exposure before you graduate.

The typical entry tariff is 88 points.

Tourism management graduates enter a sector that operates at a genuinely global scale. Careers in hotel management, airline operations, tourism development, destination marketing, events management, travel consultancy, and sustainable tourism planning are all open to graduates. Many go on to work for international hotel chains, tourism boards, airlines, tour operators, heritage organisations, and public bodies concerned with sustainable development.

The combination of business acumen and sectoral knowledge the degree develops is valued across hospitality and travel as well as in related fields including events, culture, and international business. Postgraduate study in tourism, hospitality management, or sustainable development is a natural continuation.
