Tourism Studies
Tourism is travelling, leisure, adventure, getting to know other cultures and bonding. It is also, however, a powerful industry, which employs millions of people around the globe and which had a share of 30% of the world’s service export in the world in the past year, with the total sum of 880 billion american dollars. The trend of growth and development is unstoppable and in the coming years, a large number of creative people, bright ideas and daring entrepreneurial undertakings will find their place in this exciting area.
Management in tourism – A dynamic calling for dynamic people
In this year, a billion of tourists will leave their dwelling places and head for adventure all across the world. Thousands of hotels, airlines, theme parks, tourist agencies, museums, sporting, recreational and wellness centres in Serbia and abroad will strive to transport, accommodate and offer an unforgettable experience to their guests. It is a task for which they need young, creative, dynamic people, people ready for challenges, travels, flexible hours and different work surroundings. Could that be You?
