Program Description
Delve into the social, economic, and environmental impacts of tourism in Canada and around the world. In Tourism Development, you'll discuss the latest issues and trends with internationally recognized professors, and you’ll learn how to plan, implement, and evaluate tourism experiences in environmentally and culturally sensitive ways. And you’ll do it at a university ranked first in Canada for hospitality and leisure management (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019). Today, tourism is the world's largest industry, accounting for 1 in 10 jobs on the planet. So it’s no surprise that the demand has never been higher for people who can manage and protect tourism destinations — people like Tourism Development grads and co-op students.
