⇑Why study Tourism Management at UMCS?

Why study it:

Programme: from tour operating to ecotourism
Specialisation: elective modules
After graduation: tourism sector or a Master's degree

Tourism Management at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin (UMCS) is a three-year, full-time Bachelor's programme with a general academic profile, taught in English at the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Spatial Management. It is for those who want to understand how tourism works in different natural and cultural settings and learn to plan, organise and run tourist activities and services.

Programme: from tour operating to ecotourism

The programme draws on both the natural and the social sciences, and two compulsory modules introduce how the tourism industry functions and build your organisational skills. Key issues and competences include:

tour operating
hotel management and hotel marketing
country and regional marketing
ecotourism

Specialisation: elective modules

Beyond the two compulsory modules, you choose elective modules matched to your own interests, so the programme leaves room for an individual path while keeping the broad cultural context of tourism in view.

After graduation: tourism sector or a Master's degree

The studies prepare you for work in the tourism sector – providing services related to tourist traffic – and for organising a variety of tourist activities on your own.

After graduating you can continue at Master's level in tourism or other social science fields, or take non-degree postgraduate programmes in tourism and the hotel industry.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Management

Management (or managing) is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees (or of volunteers) to accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial, natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those people who manage an organization.

Wikipedia

Tourism

Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. Tourism may be international, or within the traveller's country. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

Management

The remarkable thing about management is that a manager can go on for years making mistakes that nobody is aware of, which means that management can be a kind of a con job.

Tourism

The sheep like nature of travel - being on a beach with thousands of other people is not my idea of fun. I also don't like being a tourist because you don't know what's really going on in a country.

A company will get nowhere if all of the thinking is left to management.
