Overview

College Diploma in Tourism - Travel

This two-year Ontario College Diploma co-op program will give you the knowledge and hands-on learning experience for a career with tourism businesses, travel agencies, tour companies, airlines, and more!

This two-year program at Fanshawe College consists of four academic levels and one paid co-op term

Students are prepared, through a wide variety of career-related courses and industry work experience, to meet the limitless challenges of the dynamic tourism/travel industry. 

Students are prepared for careers in the multi-faceted tourism industry with an emphasis on travel counseling

Strong emphasis is placed on the development of personality and attitudes necessary for success in this customer service field.

This dynamic program focuses on travel advising, customer sales and service, flights and fares, group tour management, travel business operations, package holidays, and hotel operations. 

Tourism courses will also teach you world geography and the latest computer technology used in the industry, as well as skills in marketing, customer relations, promotion, and social media.

Enjoy an (optional) international field study trip on a seven-night Caribbean cruise as well as local field trips and regular guest lecturers from the industry. 

In your final semester, you’ll complete an international group tour capstone project where you’ll create a business plan, marketing plan, and presentation to launch the tour to classmates and peers, and industry partners. 

Students also have the opportunity to participate in student mentoring through the Baxter Student Ambassador Program.

Developed in conjunction with the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA), the program is designed to ensure that graduates meet the standards and qualifications of the Association, and students may seek certification upon graduation.

Every person working for a registered Ontario retail travel agency and selling travel services or providing travel advice to the public must, by law, meet the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) Education Standards.
