Most people think tourism jobs mean working at the front desk of a hotel.

The reality? The industry is far bigger and far more diverse.

Globally, tourism supports 1 in 10 jobs, spanning everything from event management and destination marketing to sustainability planning, sport tourism, outdoor recreation and entrepreneurship.

Behind the scenes of every festival, travel experience, tour company or destination strategy is a team of people making it happen.

Tourism careers can look like:

β€’ Managing major sporting events
β€’ Developing sustainable travel experiences
β€’ Marketing destinations and communities
β€’ Creating new tourism businesses
β€’ Planning festivals and conferences

At TRU, Tourism Management students learn how destinations work and how to shape experiences that bring people together.

Because tourism isn’t just about where people go.
It’s about the people creating those experiences.
