(RHOT) program will set you up with the skills you
need to launch a career in this dynamic industry.

global hospitality industry. You will gain confidence

BC’S NUMBER ONE INDUSTRY

The tourism sector may soon become the number one
industry in BC; it already offers the most employment
opportunities. There are currently approximately
115,000 direct tourism jobs in BC. This two-year
program is designed to prepare graduates for
careers in tourism focusing primarily on resorts,
hotels and restaurants but including all areas of
hospitality.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Studies begin with an understanding of where
tourism originates and encompass the supervision of
hospitality facilities. Knowledge, skills and practices
pertaining to the industry, such as the reception

of guests, food and beverage services, recreation
and convention planning, accounting, maintenance,
supervisory and overall management techniques are
topics covered. Communications and human relations
are emphasized.

The objective of the program, through classroom
instruction, practical lab training and work
experience, is to enable students to develop the
abilities, skills and attitudes to analyze situations
objectively and to then make effective management
decisions.

The guiding principle of the Resort and Hotel
Management program is student centered
involvement through both classroom and project
