Bachelor Degree in Tourism

Introduction

Spain is currently both the world’s second tourist destination and earner. New complicated challenges, such as the maturity of some of our resorts or the need for the introduction of sustainable models that are respectful with our environment demand an increase in the efficiency of our businesses and public administrations. This complexity together with the new demands of the tourist market, the overwhelming technological revolution and the dramatic changes operated in our society call for renewed strategies and management models in knowledge society.

All the above explains the strong demand for qualified tourist professionals worldwide, which guarantees the career perspectives of the new graduates.
