Does tourism management have a future?

? Hello, I am a sophomore in the School of Management of Guangdong Ocean University. I have been in contact with management for two years. Let me talk about my views on this major:

First, learning experience

Personally, I think there are many learning modes of tourism management, so let's see what our goal is. Tourism management is a practical subject. I think it is great to study hard, and it is also of great significance to practice traveling seriously. I am most afraid that you have been busy for four years, and I don't know why, but I have learned nothing. It's actually very easy to get into the exam, because most of them are written tests, and you can pass them with good preparation. But to learn well, you need to study and practice consciously, consult teachers more, read more relevant websites, find more internships, and improve your horizons and knowledge.

Second, what is tourism management

Tourism management is a comprehensive specialty of tourism, management and culturology. This major cultivates senior professionals who meet the needs of the market economy and the development of tourism at home and abroad, have the knowledge and ability of economics, management, administration and related disciplines, master the theoretical knowledge and methods of tourism management, have the ability to solve practical problems in tourism development, and can engage in the research of hotel management, travel agency management and tourism management disciplines in tourism administrative departments and enterprises at all levels; Students mainly study the basic theory and knowledge of tourism management, highlight the mastery of the subject system of tourism resource development and planning, and accept the basic training of tourism management and tourism resource planning and development, and have good scientific literacy and basic skills of resource development and planning management.

Most people think of tour guides when they see tourism management majors. In fact, there is still a big difference between the two: tourism management is first of all a so-called first-class major, not a first-class discipline at the same level as business administration, which includes tourism management, hotel management, exhibition economy and management. Under such a discipline system, tourism management has been identified as an applied discipline, and there are many directions under tourism management, generally including regional tourism resources development and planning, tourist behavior, tourism marketing and tourism enterprises.

3. What courses are there in tourism management?

The main courses of tourism management include: general situation of tourist source countries, hotel catering management, tourism statistics, China tourism history, tourism public relations, tourism resources development and management, financial metrology, tourism environment and protection, simulated tour guide courses, and tourism policies and regulations.

Fourth, employment prospects.

Tourism administration department: The employment of tourism administration department should be through the examination of civil servants, and the specific process includes online registration, on-site registration, written interview, physical examination, list publicity and other links. Employers include provincial, city and county tourism bureaus and their subordinate enterprises and institutions. The specific location of each unit depends on the needs. Please refer to the civil servant enrollment brochure of that year.

Travel Agency: All functional departments of travel agencies need high-quality tourism professionals, such as business department, planning and dispatching department, reception department, tour guide department and external liaison department. Among them, planning, reception, tour guide and outreach are the employment directions of most of our students.

Travel consulting company: The main business of travel consulting company includes: outbound travel consulting, domestic travel consulting, travel agency, business investigation consulting, immigration study consulting, hotel reservation all over the country, travel (business) car reservation, conference and exhibition, travel consultant and tour guide training services. The above is the employment direction of tourism management major.

Tourism e-commerce enterprises: Tourism is considered to be one of the industries with the strongest sensitivity to the Internet, and together with finance, software and online bookstores, it is called the four most suitable industries for online operation. Thus, tourism e-commerce enterprises have great development prospects. The main business scope of tourism e-commerce enterprises includes: providing tourism information, booking hotels, air tickets, tourist routes and practical information query and retrieval. For example, Ctrip.com, eLong.com and Zhu Fei are well-known tourism e-commerce enterprises at home and abroad.

Abstract: At the same time, with the economic globalization and the continuous promotion of the "Belt and Road" policy, the demand for high-quality talents in the tourism industry at home and abroad is increasing. If you are interested in this major and willing to study hard, the prospects are still very bright.
