Scope of the Tourism Industry
The tourism industry embraces a large variety of enterprises; some of which are entirely focused on supplying services to tourists; and others that supply goods and services partially to tourists, and partially to non tourists. These can include:
- Accommodation Services -for example hotels, camp grounds, guest houses, holiday cabins, rental houses, caravan hire, boat hire
- Transportation - including airlines, rail, buses, cruise ships, canal boats, car hire
- Food -restaurants, bars, take away, supermarkets, convenience stores; catering often to both the local population as well as tourists.
- Attractions/Sightseeing -tours, destinations (eg. theme parks, zoos, etc), entertainment (eg. cable TV, concerts, theatres. etc); cater in varying degrees to both locals and tourists
- Events Management - there can sometimes be a fine line between events and sightseeing. People do travel for events; but events also happen for people who do not travel. Consider family coming together for a wedding, or professional people coming together for an international conference.
- Insurance -eg. travel insurance
- Finance -eg. credit card facilities, international money exchange, travelers cheques
- Marketing -eg. tourism promotions, magazines, radio, TV, web sites, etc
Why Choose to study with ACS?
- Service –We put the student first; tutors and administration
can be contacted 5 days a week, 50 weeks of the year, by phone or email.
- We provide better Learning – we’ve been delivering distance
education for over 3 decades, and we understand how people learn by home study.
Our methods are unique, developed through trial and error always with our focus
squarely on helping you learn.
- Up to Date –We are continually revising and updating
courses. We listen to our students feedback and we always improve the course if
a change is identified that will help significantly improve your learning.
- More Choice –Graduates need a set of skills that will set
them apart and give them an advantage over competition in the world after
study. We have a wide variety of study choices, and give you lots of options to
choose different paths throughout a course. Doing this has meant an ACS
graduate is always different to other ACS graduates; and that difference has
made our graduates very successful.
- No Short Cuts –You can’t take short cuts in learning; and
that is why our courses are often longer than what you find elsewhere. Sure,
anyone can study a short course, quickly sit an exam (while the information is
fresh) and pass; but if you want to really understand something and retain it,
that takes time.
- More than just Learning Facts –We understand that success in
the workplace or business requires you to not only learn things, but also build
networks, understand the commercial world, be able to solve problems, communicate
with people, and have an attitude that will function in your chosen industry.
Our courses are designed to develop all of these things.
