What Is Tourism?
Tourism is about the movement of people. Whether they are moving to another country for a holiday, attending a business meeting, or visiting friends and family, it’s all tourism. Global tourism includes:
- International Tourism: Travelling from one country to another.
- Domestic Tourism: Travelling from one region to another within the same country.
Both forms have seen remarkable growth recently, creating endless opportunities.
Why Is Tourism Growing?
International Tourism decreased after the COVID-19 Pandemic, but it has been increasing since 2022. By the end of 2024, over a billion people travelled internationally, almost as many as before the pandemic. This increase means businesses in the Tourism and Hotel industry are thriving, with more customers for airlines, hotels and travel agencies.
This is your chance to dive into an industry that’s not just recovering but booming. Don’t miss out, apply to IUEA today and position yourself to thrive in this thriving market.
Why Is This Important?
More travellers mean more money in the industry! The profit made by businesses in the Tourism and Hotel industry is increasing, even during traditionally slow seasons.
This growth translates to:
- More job opportunities.
- Higher salaries.
- The chance to enjoy high profits as a business owner
By joining now, you can benefit from this growth. Don’t wait, start your journey today at IUEA!
Will You Be Too Late to Benefit?
Are you worried that this growth will be over by the time you graduate? Not at all! Tourism revenue is projected to grow steadily until at least 2029, so starting your Bachelor’s in Tourism and Hotel Management now means you’ll graduate just as the industry peaks.
Imagine being in the perfect position to grab opportunities and achieve financial stability. Apply now to secure your future!
What about in Uganda?
Known as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda has a lot of tourist attractions:
- Natural wonders like the source of the Nile and mountain gorillas.
- Vibrant cultural events and festivals.
Uganda has had a steadily increasing number of international tourists since the pandemic. But it has yet to reach its full potential as a tourist destination, meaning there’s room for innovation and growth. Areas crucial to tourism such as transportation and technology are gradually improving, thus making Uganda more of a tourist hub. Want to be part of shaping Uganda’s tourism future? Join IUEA today and start making a difference.
