Tourism and Hotel Management

The tourism sector, which holds a significant place within the service industry, is growing day by day in our country and its importance for our country's economy is steadily increasing. A continuous increase is observed in the number of individuals participating in tourism activities and the number of enterprises operating in the field of tourism in our country. Depending on this growth, the demand for qualified workforce in the tourism sector, which is already largely based on human labor, is increasing even more. 

 

The objective of the Tourism and Hotel Management Program is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills in service, housekeeping, kitchen, front office, and human relations to meet the demand for qualified personnel required in the tourism sector. Students graduating from the Tourism and Hotel Management Program can be employed in accommodation enterprises, travel agencies, food and beverage businesses, and public institutions and organizations providing hospitality services.
