Is it good for universities to study tourism management?

How about tourism management major? There is no specific answer to this question itself. It is wrong to make subjective assumptions about whether it is good or not, just as every industry deserves respect, and every major has a certain reason. It is a fact that tourism management majors exist, and there are a lot of them. It depends on what kind of mentality an individual treats her. Yes, she, for a person who has been attached for nearly nine years, tourism management has become like my friend. We have had harmony, quarrels and frictions, but in any case, this is the road I chose, and it will be the road I will take in my life without accidents.

After lyric, let's talk about my personal experience of tourism management. Academic theory can't go on, try to be grounded and comfort yourself.

What about tourism management? (Professional demining is very important)

Why did you choose to study tourism management? To tell the truth, as a ravine man born in the late 1980s, he was actually confused about the choice of the college entrance examination. Without the guidance of predecessors' experience and the technical support of people around him, he chose a school and major that he could still see with his particularly immature thinking when applying for a professional school. My choice is: major-school-end. I was obsessed with choosing tourism management only because of the rise of hotel management in those years, and my deskmate's admiration for the relatives of a hotel executive, which inexplicably poked my interest, so I chose tourism management without hesitation, and then selected two colleges and universities on the application of the school. At the same time, because of my stupidity in those years, I almost inexplicably chose the first local college in the same province. Now that I think about it, it's really inexplicable fear. Bless the Buddha! Naively, I went to the hotel management. At that time, I found that hotel management was mostly included in tourism management. I naively thought that every school was like this. Blessed by Buddha, the school I chose really has a major in hotel management.

This question is raised because it is really important and involves the professional direction. So, naive little white flower, this ray, you should have a good look. Before choosing tourism management, make sure that this is the tourism management you want.

As far as our school is concerned, tourism management is really just a name, which is divided into three directions: hotel management, exhibition management and sports and leisure. What you have learned is really as mentioned above. "Tourism management" is a general term for professional names, covering all aspects, such as travel agency management, tourism culture, tourism resource development and planning, etc. I think the same is true for many other majors, so we really can't just define them by their names. It is very likely that you want to study travel agency management and travel management, and then find that my school does not have this direction, which is very embarrassing. Other colleges and universities are still the same. The best way is to infiltrate the enemy, go to the websites of major universities and study the news of major universities. Today's information is easier to collect than we used to. It's best to find a senior, ask about the enemy, go deep into the enemy's rear and get the correct answer!

2. What has tourism management accomplished?

Well, many people will ask me this question. Even now, many junior and senior high school students will follow the next sentence when they know my major. Are you a tour guide? I usually look at him for a while (to measure his IQ and closeness) and selectively answer: almost or not. In fact, tourism management is really not all about learning tour guides. ...

Speaking of it, my big tour is all-inclusive, including eating, living, traveling and entertainment. How to open a restaurant can include big tours, hotels, homestays and big tours, as well as the whole transport fleet, and the tour guide of the travel agency is more important. Tourism commodities and my grand tour also include leisure and entertainment, which is also included in the embrace of grand tour. More importantly, build houses and develop the whole of tourism real estate and other new scenic spots. Therefore, tourism management is really not that simple for Xiaobaihua who wants to enter the business. As for what can I do after learning? Please refer to the above. I think the answer should not be a small number.

Personally, let me talk about my work experience first. After graduation, I worked in a cultural communication company for several months in event planning and wedding planning. This is the first time that I became attached to planning. Later, for economic reasons, I chose to be a tour guide, a local escort and an interpreter at a scenic spot. I deeply felt that I was not suitable for this field and decided to return to my hometown. By chance, I found a position called tourism planning, so I entered the door as deep as the sea and devoted myself to the army of tourism planning.

Then the question is, why did you give up the hotel? Many people have to ask, isn't this the original intention of your choice of tourism management? Yes, it was the original intention, but in the process of moving forward, I found something I was more interested in, planning. When I was at school, I worked part-time in five-star hotels, big and small, and I still can't forget those years. It's just that I'm not qualified to touch anything higher. Facing a group of professional students who can also do things better through training, I find that I have no advantage. Of course, I don't rule out various subjective and objective reasons, but more because I have found a way I want to go. Planning, and later I learned another name, tourism planning. As a matter of fact, I was not a good student when I offered courses at the university. Did not pay close attention to the frontier, did not look at our professional environment. The above epiphany was gradually learned from my social experience after graduation. I didn't know about travel planning until three years after graduation. Shame, don't mention it. Planning is just that I like the collision of all kinds of thinking and enjoy the process of showing human thinking. The starting point of this process comes from the case display in the process of landscape design. I am fascinated by human creativity. However, when I asked the teacher if it was possible to develop in this direction, the teacher told me that it might be too late. Later, I thought about it countless times. If that teacher had listened to my inquiry more patiently, instead of denying this road just because I didn't know how to design and draw, would I have taken a lot of detours less? Every time this time, I think, at least, I can't be like that teacher. As for choosing to be a tour guide, I will explain it in detail later and will not show it for the time being.

3. Do you want to take a tour guide card?

Just like learning accounting requires an accounting certificate, does learning tourism management require a tour guide certificate? When I took the tour guide card, I totally believed that I didn't need tickets when I went out with my card! This is a lie that is not a lie. Practice has proved that, according to the regulations, all scenic spots are open to tour guides free of charge on the premise that tour guides can only enter free of charge with a tour group (holding a tour flag, a tour group list, etc.). ). The rule has expired. Whether you can enter the scenic spot depends on your luck. Some scenic spots are released when you witness them, but you should guard the mood of the host. Some scenic spots don't recognize tourist guide cards, at least the Forbidden City doesn't recognize them. At present, the flower dancers in Chengdu are not recognized, and others can be released in various ways. Well, if that's really the only reason, as we did then, forget it. Really, what you get by taking various exams is called tour guide qualification certificate. To change it into a tour guide card, you have to go through various trainings and pay various fees. The most unreasonable thing is that you need to find a travel agency or tour guide company, and you have to look at the annual review, training and financial blessing every year. Because you want to engage in or try to engage in the tour guide profession, you must take the tour guide certificate.

The examination of tourist guide card is divided into Chinese and other languages, and the grades are divided into primary, intermediate and advanced. At present, more than 80% are primary. There is no difference between the primary, intermediate and advanced levels in the market, but the damn examination system, many people have no choice but to go up, to be honest, it really doesn't mean much. The tourist guide card can only be used to take tours in China. Usually you see a person in charge of local reception, that is to say, he is responsible for explaining the reception of tourist destinations. The person who is responsible for the whole journey with the car is called the whole journey escort; There is also a kind of narrator in the scenic spot, which should not belong to the traditional tour guide. They don't have to take the national examination, but are only responsible for the explanation inside the scenic spot. Those who can take a tour group abroad need to hold a tour guide card, and the previous tour guide card also needs an exam, which has now been cancelled. Great news, that is to say, those who hold a tour guide card and sign a contract with an international travel agency can take the tour group abroad! Sprinkle flowers, I want to go, too! The country gradually attaches importance to the problem of tour guides. Some time ago, the voice of free practice of tour guides was very high. No matter how the country's current tour guide reform is changed, the current tour guides are all vulnerable groups. When it comes to tour guides, many comments are: making more money, being dirty, forcing consumption and other negative words. No matter how the frequent "black-hearted" tour guide incidents in recent years discredit this group, this group actually has nothing to praise from economy to rights. People who have never been in the business will not understand the ups and downs in the middle. The so-called people who stand on the moral high ground and fork their waist to make all kinds of accusations also belong to the type of standing and talking without pain. I still have a bunch of things about this, so I won't go into them here. Having said that, I have kept my certificate for so many years, just because tour guide is a respected profession!

4. What is the employment status of tourism management major?

I haven't investigated the data specifically, but only for the graduates of our class. It is a pity that there are more than 70 students in our class and more than 30 students in our class. Only about eight or nine people really stay in the tourism industry. Specifically, I have been a civil servant in the Tourism Bureau, a manager in an international brand hotel, a hotel manager in a public institution, a tour leader, and a travel planner like me. The present situation is cruel, but it can't be used as your reference, because you took the road yourself, which has a lot to do with your chosen major, your goal desire, family background and so on. In fact, as far as professional employment is concerned, tourism management is very good for employment. Hotels and travel agencies recruit a large number of people every year, because the talents in the industry are highly mobile. But all the problems are the same starting point for undergraduates, junior college students and even high school graduates, and they all need to start from the grassroots. Obviously, the employment threshold is too low to be true. However, because the threshold is too low, it is understandable that it is not popular with undergraduates, which also leads to the phenomenon that few people learn to travel and do tourism. Tourism calls for talents!

5. How to take the postgraduate entrance examination for tourism management? Cobo? Examination of civil servants? Take an examination of institutions?

Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and take an examination of tourism management? This is another question, and the answer can be referred to as "Are you taking the postgraduate entrance examination or studying for a doctorate?" ? There are many answers to such questions, and they are all very good. Here, I would like to add that tourism management is also to look at career development. For example, the travel plan I chose. Forget it. I can honestly take the postgraduate entrance examination, but I can't get a master's degree. At least I can get an MTA. The starting point of the recruitment of companies with large tourism planning is the graduate degree, and to be honest, the experience of mixing projects with BOSS in the graduate stage is really not an order of magnitude with Pippi Mao Mao who studied in the undergraduate stage. In addition, someone once told me, in a word, I want to share with you that "reading must be right, and reading in stages is more wise." I really didn't insist on taking the civil service exam, but my family insisted and took part in it several times. I tell you, if you really choose several, several, several positions that I can take in the tourism management exam are basically equivalent to choosing an unlimited major. The institutions are all the same, slightly better. Therefore, it is really a difficult challenge to take the civil service examination in tourism management.

From the day I inexplicably chose tourism management, I didn't know that I could go so far and for so long. I still remember the theme of the welcome party on the first day of school: "Our Travel, Our Dream". Today, tourism management may really become my dream and the road I have been walking. No one knows what the end of this road is, just like any road in the world. I am still groping along this road to continue to grow. I also hope that these records left today can give some advice to the younger brothers and sisters behind. The road is long and hot. If you choose, you will definitely go on. On the way forward, you will definitely find your own direction.
