What this kind of programme teaches you

Programmes in travel and tourism management usually cover the structure of the tourism industry, travel services, tour operations, customer care, and basic business principles. You also build practical skills in planning itineraries, dealing with travellers, and understanding tourist behaviour. Many courses include practical assignments or internships in places like travel agencies, tour companies, hotels, or tourist information centres.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into this programme at Tamale Technical University is less competitive than many other courses in the country. That means if you have the required WASSCE passes, you have a good chance of being admitted. Because every applicant's situation is different, check the university's admission portal for the specific subject requirements and grades.

Where it can take you

Graduates of travel and tourism management programmes typically start in customer-facing roles such as travel agents, tour guides, or reservation officers. With experience, some move into management, events coordination, or even start their own small travel business. The skills you gain are also useful in hotels, airlines, and tourism boards.
