About TUT Tourism Management
Tourism has, more than any other sector, the potential to act as an engine for growth in South Africa. This includes the potential to create employment, generate foreign exchange, generate entrepreneurship, establish new services, and act as a driver for other sectors of the economy. We incorporate the above attributes in our tourism education and training. The importance of maintaining an environment in which international and domestic tourism will prosper is engrossed on students during their training.
We offer qualifications in Tourism Management, Adventure Tourism, Events Management and Ecotourism Management. With our more than capable academic staff, we remain specialists in preparing management professionals in the tourism and events fields, focussing on a wide range of academic, professional and personal skills that enable our students to become better leaders in the diverse environments presented by our industries.
