Welcome
"The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself” – Wallace Stevens
A BTEC in Travel and Tourism is designed to give students the opportunity to gain a realistic idea of what a career in the Travel and Tourism sector can offer. However, it is not just about gaining skills that can only be used in this sector. The course will give students the knowledge, understanding and skills that they need to prepare for employment in several industries such as travel and tourism, hospitality, events and business. The qualification will offer opportunities for progression to higher education and degree programmes within the same or related areas of studies as well as opportunities for full-time employment in the industry.
