UK Higher Diploma in Tourism and Travel Management (TTM019)
UK Higher Diploma in Tourism and Travel Management (TTM019) at LSTH
The UK Higher Diploma in Tourism and Travel Management (TTM019) is positioned for students who already have a foundation in tourism — through a diploma or working experience — and want to step into supervisor and junior-management roles. It covers tour operations, destination marketing, customer care and travel business management with enough depth to make a real difference at the next career step.
This is a higher diploma, so the framing is more managerial than entry-level. The expectation is that you've seen enough of the industry to want to lead in it.
