Master in Tourism Management

Master in Tourism Management at HICL

The Master in Tourism Management is the postgraduate qualification for people who want to lead - not just work in - the tourism industry. It's aimed at people targeting senior roles in destination marketing organisations, tourism boards, large tour operators, hotel groups' commercial functions, ministries of tourism, or large-scale visitor experience businesses.

This master's is structured around the commercial, strategic and policy dimensions of tourism: how destinations compete, how sustainability is becoming an operating constraint, how data and digital channels reshape the way travellers book, and how governments and large agencies coordinate to drive visitor numbers and economic impact.

• Tourism professionals with 2–5+ years of experience moving into senior roles.
• Government and tourism-board staff seeking a senior credential.
• Tour operator managers and DMC commercial leads building strategic depth.
• Hotel commercial / revenue staff specialising in tourism-side business.
• International students preparing for senior tourism roles in their home market.
