  Overview:
  
  Travel the road to success
  
  Tourism is a diverse and forward-looking industry that plays an important economic role in almost every country in the world. Experts predict another 70 million jobs over the next decade with a wealth of exciting career opportunities around the world. In Tourism Management you will get to know all aspects of the dynamic and customer-oriented tourism industry while developing your management skills. Successful graduates work for major tour operators, national tourism offices, trade fair and convention organisers, consulting firms, hotel chains and airlines.
  
  Our professors and lecturers attach great importance to the close integration of theory and practice. Most of them have themselves gained many years of specialist and management experience on an international level – and would like to share it. They do this for example through case studies, projects and field trips to renowned companies.
  
  Studying in Bad Honnef.
  
  Bad Honnef is idyllically located in one of the most beautiful areas of North Rhine-Westphalia – with direct connections to the metropolis of Cologne and the cultural city of Bonn. There are also a lot of options for recreation during your studies: The island of Grafenwerth, the Siebengebirge and the Drachenfels, which towers over Bad Honnef, offer places to relax or go mountain biking or hiking. And for those you who prefer something a little more exciting: Cologne and Bonn are ideal for shopping, cultural events and parties.
