Hospitality, Tourism and Event Management
Wouldn’t you like to be a part of Australia’s number one services export industry?
Hospitality, tourism and event management are three separate, but closely linked sectors. Together they are considered one of Australia’s largest industries, and while each provides a distinct set of roles and responsibilities, many graduates will work in all three areas during their career.
And for those looking to forge a truly international career, jet-setting graduates consistently find that skills and knowledge in hospitality, tourism and event management open doors to employment in restaurants, cafes, hotels, resorts and event management companies across the world.
