Level 3 Travel & Tourism
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Robinson.
Tourism has suffered a setback in recent times but it is poised to become a booming and more resilient industry in New Zealand once more. The Travel and Tourism industry will need numerous workers again in the near future and there are tremendous opportunities available for young people.
Students will gain an insight into this industry both in New Zealand and around the world.
The 13 Travel and Tourism course is for students with an interest in world travel or are considering working in the tourist industry sometime in the future. As an industry based subject, Travel and Tourism is ideal for those students who appreciate working at their own pace with one on one teacher guidance.
Students are presented with 7 units options, of which they must complete any four to complete the course.
Students can complete more than four assessments if they wish. Most students gain a minimum of 26 credits from 13TRT.
This 13TRT course is open to all students but 13TRT students must be willing and able to work independently.
Tourism is a booming industry in New Zealand and, consequently, it plays an important role in the economy.
Pathway
