The purpose of this project is to prepare students to enter a career in the hospitality and tourism industry. Modules have been developed to explain the roles and interrelationships of the various travel and tourism sectors, characterize historical and current concepts, understand the impacts that travel and tourism have upon a destination, and be able to identify career opportunities in the industry. Through the use of social networking sites and applications, students will engage in learning activities that apply to real-world situations. This presentation will give you insight into the course framework and an overview of the activities in which the students will participate.
