International Tourism Management

(Internationaal Toeristisch Management) In the AD International Tourism Management program, you learn all aspects of the international tourism and travel industry, from organizing trips to managing tourism businesses. You receive practice-oriented courses such as travel product development, international marketing, cultural studies, hospitality management, and financial management for the tourism sector. You also learn to work with reservation systems like Amadeus, Sabre, and other GDS systems that are crucial in the industry. Additionally, you develop communication skills in multiple languages, with English and often a second foreign language such as Spanish, German, or French being central. What makes this AD unique compared to a full bachelor's degree is the direct focus on practice-oriented skills that you can immediately apply in the workplace, without the more theoretical and research-based components. You work on real projects for tourism enterprises, organize events and trips, and complete an extensive internship at international travel organizations, hotels, attractions, or destinations. The program is perfect for you if you love traveling, different cultures, enjoy customer contact, and want to quickly get started in the dynamic international tourism industry.
