Master in Airline, Travel and Tourism Management

Master in Airline, Travel and Tourism Management at HICL

The travel industry is not three separate sectors. An airline's revenue depends on tourism flows; a destination's success depends on connectivity; a tour operator's product hinges on both. The Master in Airline, Travel and Tourism Management is built for senior professionals who already understand that and want a postgraduate qualification that crosses the boundaries instead of staying in one lane.

This is a strategic postgraduate programme. It assumes prior experience and academic capability, and pushes into commercial, operational and policy decisions that span airlines, travel intermediaries and destination organisations.

Why a cross-sector master

A senior airline commercial manager who has never thought about destination policy will eventually find themselves in a room where that's the only conversation. A tourism director with no view on airline route economics will struggle to argue for connectivity investment. The Master in Airline, Travel and Tourism Management explicitly braids these threads - revenue management, network and route economics, distribution, tour operating models, destination marketing, sustainability, crisis management - so graduates can lead across the value chain.

Who This Master Is For

• Airline commercial, network and operations managers ready for a director-level move.
• Senior travel agency, tour operator and OTA managers expanding their remit.
• Destination management organisation leaders and policy staff.
• Consultants advising across the airline, travel and tourism ecosystem.

Where graduates head

Graduates of the Master in Airline, Travel and Tourism Management typically progress into senior roles such as Head of Commercial in airlines or tour operators, Destination Director, Travel Industry Consultant, Group General Manager in travel enterprises, and senior posts in tourism authorities. Specific outcomes depend on prior experience and the market.
