What Is Tourism Subject?

Tourism is the study of the events, businesses, and organizations that give people or groups a travel experience. It is a study of visitor behavior, expectations, and the financial, social, and environmental effects of tourism in South Africa.

With a focus on the travel business, this program seeks to give students the knowledge and skills they need for a career in tourism. After completing the 18-month theoretical portion, students must finish the 18-month practical component by working in the tourism sector. By doing this, it is made sure that students are ready to work in the tourism sector after they graduate.

Time for the subject tourism in the curriculum

Four hours per week are required for tourism instruction. The timetable should provide for one double period of 80 to 90 minutes each week so that students can do practical work because this topic requires practical work, which accounts for 25% of the end-of-year promotion or certification grade.
