What are some common misunderstandings about the tourism management profession?

I think people have many misunderstandings about the tourism management profession.

It can be summarized in three aspects:

First, the things learned in this major are very complicated and messy, and have no real effect.

Second, for purely liberal arts subjects, you only need to endorse them every day, and there is nothing else to do.

Third, the future employment directions are basically just waiters and tour guides.

As for the first misunderstanding,

Tourism management can be said to be a very broad subject.

The basic quality requirements are relatively high,

You need to have professional humanities and social science knowledge,

For example, about geography, history, social customs, < /p>

Basic professional knowledge is a must.

A very good example,

is that our major basically learns where there is fun, and where there is good food, which is all aspects that everyone will cover when traveling. .

In our sophomore professional courses, various beautiful scenic spot overviews are often played in class, and some excellent scenic spot guides explain the process. You will not want to doze off.

(The more you look at it, the more energetic you become. Looking at the beautiful scenery, with the teacher’s professional explanation and guidance, you have already planned the holiday travel route.)

The teacher in order to train us Ability, students will go up to give news broadcasts in every class, and some courses require scenic spot explanations.

(For this kind of task, you usually need to prepare a ppt a week in advance, learn about the corresponding scenic spots, and then explain it to your classmates and teachers as a tour guide.)

The second point , because this is a personalized service profession that deals with people, it needs to understand psychology, understand the psychological changes of consumers, and make timely adjustments and emergency response methods.

Personally, I feel that this major is very clearly integrated with society, it is a great training for individuals, and it will also be of great help in integrating into society in the future.

As for the second misunderstanding,

Tourism management major is not a pure liberal arts major. It requires both emotional and IQ improvements, and it also has obvious mathematical requirements.

Everyone knows that tourism is a miscellany.

First, our professional courses include Introduction to Tourism Culture, Tourism Culture, Chinese Tourism Geography, Tourism Planning, and Tourism Economics.

The written overview of professional courses is very obvious, so if you memorize it before the exam, you will have no problem passing. However, if you want high scores, you still need to use a lot of methods in it, and you need to put it into practice. Combining mathematical analysis with it to understand the process changes inside, it will also be very helpful if high school mathematical analysis is used in process derivation of tourism affairs.

(I majored in science in high school. When I entered college, I thought I was majoring in liberal arts, but later I found that I had an advantage. And I could pass the exam by memorizing it by heart. What a major with humanistic care)

If you learn these subjects, you will probably be able to know the great mountains and rivers of the motherland at home, and you will be able to grasp the customs and customs of various places at your fingertips. Basically, I have no problem communicating with others, and I am an outstanding person wherever I go.

Second, our other courses include: corporate relations, management, economics, tourism service management, hotel management, and tourism psychology. Probability theory and mathematical statistics, calculus, linear algebra, statistics.

After seeing this, do you still think this is a liberal arts major? You have to learn math and English, and the requirements are quite high.

But since it is not the focus of this major, there is no need to enter some purely theoretical stuff. You just need to be able to do practical exercises. (I particularly admire girls who study medicine and those who are engaged in physics, chemistry, and mathematics in college. I estimate that they will not be able to pick up the review in the last week.)

To sum it up completely, there are probably two types of emotional quotient and IQ. promote.

The two certificates faced by undergraduate majors are the tour guide certificate and the tour leader certificate.

The National Tour Guide Qualification Examination is divided into Chinese tour guides and foreign language tour guides. The examination is divided into five parts:

Subject 1, Laws and Regulations.

It is roughly the Consumer Agreement Protection Act and the Tour Guide Management Regulations. You need to understand basic point deduction matters and rights protection agreements as well as the latest policies. The content involved is very broad, including consumer agreement protection law, contract law, and economic law. (It can be seen that the country is vigorously improving the basic quality of tour guides. Nowadays, some of the tour guides you come into contact with have basically not obtained the certificate, so there are some negative public opinions. But often those who have obtained the certificate do not want to be a tour guide. I am an ordinary tour guide, but I still want to take the exam! I am under pressure to make a living, everyone understands. )

Subject 2, Tour Guide Practice.

To put it simply, the content inside is how to deal with various emergency situations as a tour guide.

Subject 3, National Tour Guide Basics.

Basically, it is a requirement to know astronomy from above and geography from below.

Subject 4, basics of local tour guide.

Mainly learn about local customs and habits, and some distinctive ethnic festivals.

(For fun-loving students, this is so easy!)

Subject 5: Interview.

The interview scenic spots are different in each region. It is an interview process of about fifteen minutes, explaining a scenic spot + answering a few questions.

Don’t be scared,

You must understand that the somewhat difficult tour guide certificate has a high value.

After the reform,

< p> Pass the test once, valid for life,

Universal nationwide

Free admission to 200,000 outstanding scenic spots.

(Even if you are not a major, it is very attractive to be able to play everywhere for free after taking the exam!)

The point is that if you learn, you will earn.

It’s your thing, and no one else can take it away.

It is simply an iron rice bowl.

The second is the team leader certificate, which requires you to have certain professional experience. Foreign language requirements are relatively high. It is recommended that you apply for the exam after passing the CET-6 English test.

As for the third misunderstanding,

For tourism management majors, the focus is still on the positioning of management.

If you want to work as a waiter or tour guide after graduation, this position is too low. At most, in order to train us, the teacher will let us go through this difficult internship period during the internship period in our junior year. The purpose is to let you understand and understand the basic details of this profession, that is, start from the basics, and then you can learn with morality. It's convincing. But it doesn't mean that you are positioned right here. Most of the outstanding students in this major will work as hotel managers after graduation, and of course the more advanced ones will be private travel route customizers.

(Only professional enjoyment and customized planning that you can’t imagine. Of course, it is so easy to open a special travel agency)

Now people’s living standards are slowly and gradually improving,

< p> There will be an increasing demand for enthusiastic service industries such as vacation relaxation and elderly care services. No matter how you look at it, tourism management is a popular, profitable and fun major. Of course, this still depends on everyone's mentality. At most, you can't bear it and want to give up. The prospects are so promising, how can it be so easy?

Travel is a kind of fun,

Management is an art.

I hope you can face up to this major, which is still improving step by step, but you cannot deny how much changes will be made in ten years.

Tourism management major requires:

Solid tourism literacy as a foundation,

Professional humanities and social science theory as a background,

Excellent guided by humanistic feelings.

The most important thing is that you love this major.

Three hundred and sixty lines, every line is the best,

I hope you can find fun in it.
