This graduate course by distance education provides graduates with an
opportunity to study the management of the tourism industry as a business

On completion of the course students should:
- have the ability to apply knowledge of tourism, the environment in which
it functions, and effective management operations in the various tourism
sectors to the management of tourism enterprises, tourist destinations and
tourism project developments;
- have broader understanding and range of skills through the undertaking of
two elective studies from a range of other business areas;
- have developed appropriate attitudes with respect to the environment, the
needs of host communities, customer orientation and enterprise sustainability.
Applicants require a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a
recognised tertiary institution plus a minimum of three years relevant
employment experience, or an executive certificate from this faculty with an
average grade of credit or above.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the School of
Business and Electronic Commerce as to the 1998 course fee. Course fees are set
