HMG60100 - Trends in Hospitality & Tourism

(3 units)

This course examines the growth, progress, infrastructure and technology applications of the hospitality and tourism management. Segments studied range from tourism, lodging, resorts, hotels, destination planning, restaurants, clubs to event management for sports and entertainment. Students will learn to understand the relevance and interdependence of these segments and discuss strategies for harnessing aspects within a segment for improving business and performance. In addition to the classroom instruction, students are required to get real-World experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 100 - 160 hours. However, if a student is unable to secure a practicum site, another option such as a project will be made available to them to ensure they meet the course requirements through an applied project designed with the instructor. (International students need to meet their international student advisor for details).
