Diploma in Tourism

Program Overview

Learn about tourism industry standards and requirements with this two-years Cambrian College program

    The curriculum offers courses in world destinations, selling and customer service, transportation, communication, product knowledge, tour development and management, tourism law, business math, and event management. The students will learn to research, solve problems, be team players, exhibit professionalism and adapt to an ever-changing industry of travel and tourism.

Students will become familiar with:

  •     World tourist destinations and their local laws and customs
  •     Basic reservation and booking procedures for airline, hotel, car, cruise, rail and bus
  •     Both major airline reservation systems, APOLLO BY GEMINI (GALILEO) and SABRE

Students will have an opportunity to further develop practical skills and enrich their industry knowledge by participating in a seven-week-long field placement during their fourth and final semester. With the assistance of a devoted Field Placement Coordinator, students can complete placements in various industry areas to suit their interests.

Completion of the program prepares students to write the Knowledge Exam that is part of the certification requirements to become a Certified Travel Counsellor from CITC. The students are encouraged to become members of the Canadian Institute of Travel Counsellors (CITC). This association provides students with the opportunity to participate in seminars and conferences. For more information on becoming a Certified Travel Counsellor, contact CITC at www.citc.ca.
