Bachelor's degree in Tourism

The Tourism Bachelor's degree or Tourism license allows students to acquire skills in Tourism project management (transport, accommodation, entertainment, etc.). They are also focused on organization and communication. However, once the degree is obtained, questions regarding your professional future arise.

If you are considering further studies in Tourism, there is a path that might strongly interest you: careers in marketing and digital within Tourism.

Despite their market recognition, the Bachelor's and undergraduate Tourism programs offer limited coverage of crucial aspects of marketing, communication, and digital technology in tourism promotion, and even less so regarding technological advancements in this field. Yet, these elements have become essential in the Tourism industry and represent fundamental skills for all Tourism professionals.

What career opportunities are available after a Tourism Bachelor's degree?

After a Tourism Bachelor's degree or a Tourism license, graduates can work in various sectors such as:

  • Sustainable Tourism: Consultant or project manager for responsible tourism and eco-tourism initiatives.
  • Digital marketing: Communications manager, SEO manager or social media manager for travel agencies or tourist destinations.
  • Event Management: International event manager, particularly in the sports or congress sectors.
  • E-tourism: professions linked to online reservation platforms, digital destination promotion and customer feedback management.

However, opportunities are often more numerous and better compensated with a Bac+5 level degree, which opens the door to positions such as:

  • Marketing Director in a Tourism company
  • Digital Project Manager in agencies specializing in Tourism.
  • E-commerce Manager in travel or Hospitality companies.
  • Digital Strategy Consultant for the Tourism sector.
