Tourism is the world’s largest service industry and the second largest industry overall. The faculty at Mount knows that tourism is about hotels, restaurants, and resorts, but it does not stop there! It is also about customer engagement, adventure tour companies, destination planning and marketing, and boutique inns – creating experiences and memories that last a lifetime. Careers in tourism and hospitality are available locally and around the world. In Nova Scotia, the tourism and hospitality industry is an exciting, vibrant and rapidly growing sector. Students in this program benefit from small class sizes, flexible learning options, experiential learning, and faculty who have a wide range of research interests and industry experience.

The objective of the diploma program in tourism and hospitality management is to increase and enrich the knowledge acquired during the certificate program.
