BBA (Tourism and Hospitality Management)

Catch the Next Wave: Do you have what it takes to be part of the Singapore IRs and booming tourism & hospitality industry?

With the coming of the Integrated Resorts (IRs) in Singapore and similar concepts sprouting in Asia, a career in the tourism and hospitality industry is certainly looking bright.

In Singapore alone, the IRs are expected to create an estimated 10,000 direct jobs and a further 25,000 jobs in the wider economy. A big part of any IR is the related services which have to be driven by professionals possessing management know-how which blends with hospitality expertise. Hence, it is vital that a practical and cutting-edge programme is introduced to prepare for this challenge.

This Adelaide BBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management with a major project on Casino Management will gear you towards world-class managers and executives with a touch of the renowned hospitality from the Southern hemisphere. For this programme as well as the TIA MBA (Tourism and Hospitality Management), ACPE has managed to win over a distinguished board of advisors: Advisory board for Casino Management Programmes
