What is the MBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management?
This is an MBA with the business core of a general MBA (strategy, finance, marketing, operations, people) applied throughout to hotels, events, destinations and travel. Where a general MBA applies those tools to any sector, this one applies them to RevPAR, guest experience, seasonal staffing and destination brands. It finishes with a supervisor-guided capstone based on a real challenge from your own workplace or market.
Two examples of who it suits:
- A rooms division manager who knows every department but has never owned a P&L.
- An events coordinator moving towards director level who needs the finance and strategy side to match their operational skill.
