Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management (BS)

Program description.

The BS in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management prepares students for management positions in one of the largest economic sectors worldwide. Combining a thorough liberal arts program of study with industry- specific business classes, students gain in-depth knowledge in the areas of hospitality finance, sales and marketing, revenue management, special event planning, destination development, and food and beverage operations. Students learn how to develop new hotel and resort concepts, market tourism destinations, and manage tourism and convention bureaus. Frequent site visits, industry events, and guest speakers ensure that students make use of all the opportunities New York City has to offer, both in and out of the classroom. In addition, they gain hands-on experience through internships, which develop them into successful—and highly employable—industry professionals.

New York University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions supports the application process for all undergraduate programs at NYU.  For additional information about undergraduate admissions, including application requirements, see How to Apply . 

Program Requirements

Concentrations.

The program requires the completion of 128 credits, and students may choose one of six concentrations listed below.

The BS in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management prepares students for a wide range of careers in hotels, restaurants, catering companies, real estate and management services companies, online travel agencies, marketing and PR firms, destination marketing organizations, event companies and consulting firms. The degree has six concentrations:

Event Management

This concentration explores career opportunities in festivals, weddings and social events, trade shows, and experiential marketing.

The event sector is growing fast, and offers a wealth of career opportunities. Whether you are interested in festivals, weddings, business conventions or sporting events, this concentration will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this exciting field.

Event planning, design and production are a central focus of this concentration. Event planners/producers coordinate every detail of the event: from the venue and speakers to arranging for printed materials and audio-visual equipment. They develop the concept for the event, and liaise with suppliers and staff. Event planners/producers may work for non-profit organizations, associations, hotels, corporations, and government. Many are independent business owners and coordinate events for a range of clients.

Events can also play an important role in a company’s marketing strategy. Experiential or event marketing is a promotional strategy that involves face-to-face contact between companies and their customers at special events like concerts, fairs, and sporting events. Brands use event marketing entertainment (like shows, contests, or parties) to reach consumers through direct hand-to-hand sampling or interactive displays.

Marketing and Analytics

In this concentration, students study hospitality and travel sales and marketing, as well as strategies and processes that optimize a business’s revenues.

The marketing and analytics concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the marketing functions of hospitality businesses.  Professionals in marketing and branding roles need strong analytical skills as they conduct market research, oversee multimedia advertising campaigns, and consult with outside agencies, promotional representatives and corporate executives.

Marketers and revenue managers currently evolve in an increasingly digital and data-driven environment. They are tasked to develop and implement strategies to maximize the business's revenues and profitability. On the basis of daily reports, they make predictions of demand and make distribution channels and pricing decisions. They also leverage the power of loyalty programs and optimize the entire guest acquisition phase; in partnership with travel agencies - on and offline - and other travel intermediaries.

Leadership and Management

This concentration focuses on the operational aspects of hospitality businesses – a great concentration for budding general managers!

The leadership and management concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the operational aspects of hospitality businesses. This is an attractive concentration for budding general managers, as the concentration includes aspects of sales and marketing, food and beverage management, but also leadership and law. Hotel operations roles are available in a wide range of departments: front desk, catering, events, housekeeping and human resources. Professionals in operations oversee the daily activities of their teams, and aim to ensure guest satisfaction.

Hotel Real Estate Finance and Development

This concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial management and the hotel development process.

The hotel real estate finance and development concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial management and the hotel development process. Hotel finance careers may include responsibilities such as overseeing the financial processes of the hotel, maintaining audits and reports, producing monthly income statements, and coordinating budgets and forecasts. The hospitality sector is mostly associated with the hotel industry, however, many other asset classes fall into this sector, including large scale resorts, spas, timeshares, restaurants and casinos.

Another aspect of this concentration is hotel development and asset management. Many well-known hotel brand names do not own the building in which the hotel operates, but rather contract their management and brand name to the owner for a fee. Owners and real estate investment trusts employ analysts to maximize the returns earned by the property. Hotel investment professionals produce valuations, and make recommendations about the development of new assets or the remodeling of existing assets.

Travel and Tourism Development

This concentration prepares students for careers in destination marketing organizations, (online) travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, PR firms, and visitor attractions.

The travel and tourism industry has shown remarkable resilience in the face of economic challenges, geopolitical conditions and natural disasters. It remains one of the largest and fastest growing industry sectors in the world. Graduate tourism degrees prepare students for a wealth of careers in the public, private and voluntary sectors. WTTC estimates that the travel and tourism sectors support 292 million jobs worldwide, or 1 in every 10 jobs.

The travel and tourism development concentration prepares students for careers in destination marketing organizations, (online) travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, event companies, development agencies, marketing and PR firms and visitor attractions. Students will explore various aspects of this large and multi-faceted sector, including casinos, special interest tourism products, sports tourism and mega-events, entrepreneurship and destination marketing.

Entrepreneurship

In this concentration, students will learn the different aspects of the typical entrepreneurship journey: from ideation, to prototyping,  to business launch, and management as applied to hospitality.

Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in innovation, economic development and competitiveness. The entrepreneurship concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the crucial role that entrepreneurship plays in the travel and hospitality business. It also provides them with the entrepreneurial and innovative mindset sought after by many employers. The courses offer an overview of the different aspects of the typical entrepreneurship cycle, from ideation to business launch and management. Courses in this concentration are experiential,  applying theory to real world problems and opportunities.

Program Curriculum

General Education (GE) courses comprise most of the required units during the first two years of the program. These are university-wide courses intended to develop the students’ key academic skills and competencies such as persuasive communication and innovative thinking. The University upholds that developing such basic competencies helps prepare students towards becoming independent learners as they progress in their respective programs and eventually, their careers.

Alongside their GE courses, BSTM students must also undertake professional tourism courses depending on their chosen track.

Event Management Track

The BSTM – Event Management Track aims to produce graduates who are equipped to professionally handle different types of meetings and events in diverse settings. Business and technical skills in event management such as event project planning and implementation, financial management, facilities management, event program design, and the like are honed through case study analyses, event proposal creation, presentations, and actual handling of several events.

Professional skills such as conscientiousness, leadership, teamwork, and time management are also developed through theory and practice. Graduates of this track may venture into event management-related businesses, event consulting, and work in tourism, hospitality, and corporate fields where specialized skills in event management are required.

FEU-ITHM strengthens its Event Management track with international and industry-recognized certifications such as the Certificate of Achievement and Certified Events Planner from the Asia Pacific for Events Management (APIEM) and National Certifications III in Event Management from the Technical Education Skills and Development Authority (TESDA).

Travel and Tours Management Track

Meanwhile, the Travel and Tours Management Track aims to produce graduates with comprehensive knowledge in the management, operations, and service delivery of the different sectors of the tours and travel industry.

The professional, business, and travel-related skills are developed to prepare students to take entry-level, supervisory, and even entrepreneurial positions in tour and travel operations and related fields in multi-cultural settings.

On top of the knowledge and competencies focused on travel agency management, tour marketing and promotions, tourism laws, domestic and international tourism operations, specialized skills in recreation and leisure, destination management, and heritage tourism are also developed.

Afterward, students are required to perform internal auditing research works and feasibility studies and undertake 600-hour supervised apprenticeship training in various auditing and accounting firms and other accredited business firms.

Students are also trained to become well-rounded, socially and morally responsible citizens through the National Service Training Program (NSTP) and the Wellness and Recreation Program (WRP) of the University. Under WRP, students can choose to attend a diverse array of short courses intended to develop their physiological and emotional well-being as well as their sense of belonging in the community and their social responsibility.

Teaching-Learning Approaches

The BSTM program utilizes multiple teaching-learning approaches catering to students’ needs and empowering them as independent learners and outstanding tourism management professionals in the future. These approaches include:

Student-centered learning

Following the University’s educational philosophy and learning paradigm, the BSTM program utilizes methods which encourage active and collaborative learning engagements between the students and the teachers. Through dynamic activities and tasks, students are empowered to take responsibility for their own learning rather than become passive recipients of information in the classroom.

Didactic approach

Fundamental knowledge in management concepts, principles, and laws are taught through a mix of discussions and lectures.

Interdisciplinary approach

The BSTM program equips students with the ability to see the various aspects of professional tourism management practice through multidisciplinary lenses and perspectives. This, together with their liberal GE courses in the field of arts, humanities and social sciences, encourage well-rounded development for our students.

Blended learning

BSTM facilitates ubiquitous learning in its courses through online virtual classrooms, online modules and web resources. The program primarily uses Canvas, the official learning management system (LMS) of FEU and a globally recognized platform among leading educational institutions worldwide.

Research-based approach

Students are encouraged to conduct research work, while professional courses also utilize research-based materials such as case studies and feasibility studies to ensure the delivery of updated information about current industry standards and practices.

Assessment and Research Work

Tourism Management is a skills-based program designed to develop and hone the students’ capabilities through the assessment of their critical thinking, communication, customer service and other related skills that are essential in the tourism and hospitality industry.

Aside from the traditional pen and paper assessments, BSTM students prepare and deliver presentations on current issues and specific topics about tourism. Before the end of each semester, students are expected to apply these skills in their respective actual culminating activities (ex. Handling local and international events).

Research is part of the students’ coursework in most of their professional courses like tourism impacts and sustainability, ecotourism, entrepreneurship, among others. Their topics must be aligned with the tourism agenda of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

Tourism students are expected to finish 500 hours of internship in reputable tourism-related companies, both private and government, such as airlines, airports, travel agencies, hotels, casinos, recreational facilities, among others.

They also have an option to complete their internship in other countries such as in the USA, Thailand, China and Vietnam. The Student Internship Abroad Program (SIAP) complies with CHED policy under  CMO no. 22, series of 2013 .

BSTM students must complete a total of 2,718 hours of course work, which includes 500 hours of internship. They also must achieve a minimum quality point average (QPA) of 2.4 by the end of their four-year program.
