As the name suggests, this programme approaches the study of tourism in a commercial context.
Tourism is a major industry both within New Zealand and world wide.
To achieve this, the degree draws on specialist subjects in tourism and a range of subject areas within commerce, economics, recreation management and other areas that may serve particular students' interests in tourism. As well as completing the compulsory subjects students are also encouraged to think carefully about other areas of skills and knowledge they may want from their degree.
