The Travel and Tourism Industry is an exciting and popular sector. In 2012 London will host the Olympics and you could be a part of this exciting event!
'Travel & Tourism is set for a milestone year as the industry’s direct contribution to the global economy is expected to pass $2 trillion in GDP and 100 million jobs. According to research by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the global Travel & Tourism industry will grow by 2.8% in 2012, marginally faster than the global rate of economic growth, predicted to be 2.5%. This rate of growth means that Travel & Tourism industry is expected to directly contribute $2 trillion to the global economy and sustain some 100.3 million jobs. When the wider economic impacts of the industry are taken into account, Travel & Tourism is forecast to contribute some $6.5 trillion to the global economy and generate 260 million jobs – or 1 in 12 of all jobs on the planet.'

Courses in Travel and Tourism
Out and About
Travel and tourism learners benefit from numerous visits that provide first-hand experience to support their learning at college. Early in the term learners often visit places such as:
- Virgin Atlantic Cabin Crew Training Centre
- Go Ape
- Symonds Yat
- Ice-Skating in Cardiff
- Drayton Manor (includes talks by guest speakers)
These visits assist with completing course units such as: planning an event, UK destinations, marketing and attractions. They are also good ice-breakers so learners get to know each other and develop team-working skills.
