Bachelor in Tourism and Travel Management (BTTM019)
Bachelor in Tourism and Travel Management (BTTM019) at LSTH
The Bachelor in Tourism and Travel Management (BTTM019) is a three-year undergraduate degree for people who want a career in tour operations, travel agency management, destination marketing or DMC work. It treats tourism as the serious, complicated industry it is — not a side topic in a general business course. Students examine how a tour is actually built, priced and sold, how a destination markets itself competitively, and what happens behind the scenes when a major travel brand handles thousands of customers a week.
Taught at London School of Tourism and Hospitality, the degree is grounded in the realities of the modern travel trade: thin margins, intense competition for attention, GDS-driven distribution, and the constant pressure to refresh product. The Bachelor in Tourism and Travel Management (BTTM019) leans toward applied learning rather than theory alone, with case studies drawn from tour operators, travel agencies and destination organisations.
Why Tourism Still Rewards Properly Trained Graduates
The travel industry rebuilt itself rapidly after a difficult period and is hiring across operations, product, sales and marketing. What it lacks is enough graduates who understand both the customer side and the commercial side. The Bachelor in Tourism and Travel Management (BTTM019) is built around that gap: degree-level analytical work paired with the practical vocabulary of tour operators and travel agents.
Who the Bachelor in Tourism and Travel Management (BTTM019) Suits
- School leavers serious about a long career in travel and tourism.
- People already working at travel agencies who want a formal degree behind them.
- International students aiming at DMCs, inbound operators or destination boards back home.
- Career changers moving from general business or marketing into travel-specific roles.
Where Graduates Typically Go After the Degree
Many graduates progress into tour operations roles, product management at tour companies, sales and account management at travel agencies, or junior marketing positions at destination management organisations. Some move into corporate travel management for large employers, and others use the degree as a foundation for postgraduate study. Outcomes depend on experience, language ability and the wider job market — no degree guarantees a specific role.
