Overview


This program is built for the AI era, where students must understand guest experience, tourism planning, service quality, digital marketing, booking systems, and customer engagement. From the first semester, students learn Applied AI and Prompt Engineering, Content Writing, Visual Content Creation, Digital Marketing, and No-Code Web and Mobile App Development using GitHub Copilot. This means students can begin building useful skills through travel content, hotel pages, tourism visuals, social media campaigns, itinerary writing, booking support pages, and small tourism projects. These are learning and portfolio-building opportunities, not guaranteed income or clients. This is not just an associate degree. It is a university-supported pathway to become a future-ready hospitality learner, tourism planner, service professional, and travel entrepreneur. Program Introduction FAQs
