Course Overview

Our Tourism Management degree is designed to get under the skin of the tourism industry by examining its various operational components. These include accommodation, transport and attraction sectors and reviewing the policy and planning frameworks that facilitate tourism development. It demonstrates how tourism organisations can apply to underpin theories in natural business settings. This is undertaken through a taught and practical approach, including industry visits and guest speakers, national and international fieldwork and empirical case studies. You will be led by experienced academics and industry professionals who have proven expertise in the subject and have been trained to provide high-quality support.

You will gain a truly interdisciplinary outlook on tourism management as the degree curriculum embeds knowledge from various related subjects, including geography, business management and marketing, and events management. The degree seeks to actively engage with local stakeholders and some critical elements of its curriculum focus on tourism development in the city of Liverpool and the wider region. The curriculum is research-driven and business practice-based; this provides you with up-to-date and first-hand tourism experience, which can represent a crucial advantage in the highly competitive job market.

Liverpool is an ideal place to study tourism management as the city is home to several key tourist attractions in the UK, such as the Royal Albert Dock and waterfront, Tate Liverpool, Premier League football, National Museums Liverpool and the Beatles legacy. The city’s year as the European Capital of Culture in 2008 has also contributed to the continued growth of the city’s tourism sector. Therefore, due to the dynamic nature of the city’s tourism industry, there are endless opportunities to explore and investigate contemporary aspects of an international tourism destination on your doorstep.
