Course content
An industry that inspires creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, the opportunities available in the events management world are limitless.
The global tourism industry's contribution to GDP was approximately 7.7 trillion USD in 2022. There were over 295 million jobs in the sector, a number which is expected to increase to 430 million by 2033. Incorporating many industries such as accommodation, transport, attractions and more, it saw a huge surge after pandemic restrictions were lifted, with its percentage share of the global market almost fully returned to pre-pandemic numbers. Both domestically and internationally, the sector plays a crucial part in many economies, with more people joining the industry every year.
Geographically close to London, the coast and with six international airports within 2 hours from campus, you'll be studying in Britain's oldest recorded city filled with a rich history that attracts tourists from all over the world.
The MSc International Tourism Management course at the Edge Hotel School will prepare our students to take up middle-management roles across the industry in places such as cruise ships, airlines, events and visitor attractions, or travel and holiday organisations.
