Diploma in Tourism Management at a glance
This is the practical, operations-first tourism course: the work a travel consultant does every day. You learn to build an itinerary, cost it, book the hotel, car and flight, and present it to the customer, using the same travel-agency software the industry runs on.
Futurewings was founded by travel-industry veterans, and its sister companies are a visa consultancy and a tour operator, so the course is taught with a working travel business in view. Visits to travel agencies and sessions by industry experts show you the job before you apply for it.
