Tourism remains one of the world's most dynamic sectors, with over 950 million international tourists in 2023 according to the UNWTO. This dynamism attracts many young people every year to tourism schools, with one aim: to turn a passion for languages, travel or hospitality into a career.
But how do you choose between traditional schools, digital training courses and online models?
Traditional" tourism schools are often part of consular establishments, hotel high schools, CFAs or universities. They offer courses ranging from bac+2 to bac+5, on an initial or sandwich basis.
They teach the fundamentals of the sector:
The diplomas offered can be BTS Tourism, professional licenses or masters in tourism management. These schools generally offer a good academic foundation, but sometimes suffer from a lack of adaptation to the sector's new digital practices.
Faced with the transformation of the sector, some schools are now integrating a strong digital dimension into their programs. These include e-tourism, sustainable tourism and digital marketing applied to tourism. The aim is to train students in the tools that make up the daily lives of industry professionals today: social networks, CRM, online booking tools, e-reputation management...
Some business and communications schools even offer specializations in tourism and digital marketing, but these often remain secondary in their overall offering.
