Recent economic and population developments have led to a new demand in international tourism. To meet this demand, we created, in 2007/2008, a Masters course in Business and Luxury Tourism.
This course enables students to develop a multitude of skills for the world of tourism in an international environment. It is ideal for students with a good knowledge of modern languages: English, French and either German or Spanish, and an interest in international tourism and hotel management.
Teaching methods include a strong emphasis on practical case studies.
The course enables students to acquire the following skills: managing a travel agency, creating original tourism products on request, improving the international strategies of hotel chains, inventing international trips for the luxury market, managing the logistical aspects and accommodation for international business seminars.
