Tourism is a management science and this component is strengthened through a generic BCom first-year curriculum and a new Tourism Management curriculum for second- and third-year students. Core subjects offered by the Division, such as Destination Marketing, Hospitality Management and Ecotourism were brought in line with other top international universities in tourism management. New modules such as eTourism, Air Transport in Tourism and Business Travel have been developed and form part of the new curriculum to provide BCom (Tourism Management) graduates with the best possible knowledge in tourism.

The Tourism Management Division strives to be the first choice for students who wish to become future leaders in the tourism industry, to ground the BCom (Tourism Management) degree offered at the University of Pretoria in cutting-edge research in this most dynamic of all industries and to strengthen the industry collaboration of the Division to the benefit of all the students.
