Le tourisme en France : ce qu'il faut savoir..

Le tourisme en France c'est : 

la première destination touristique dans le monde avec 84,7 millions de touristes étrangers en 2013 qui ont dépensé 51 milliards d'euros, !
En matière de recettes tirées du tourisme international, la France occupe la troisième position, derrière les États-Unis et l’Espagne les recettes sont passées de 41,8 Mds € en 2012 à 42,7 Mds € en 2013 (source : Banque de France), soit une hausse d’environ 2,2 %. Au total, bien qu’ayant une position forte, la France a pris conscience de l’intensité de la concurrence. La consommation touristique intérieure a progressé de 1,4 % en 2013. Elle atteint 157 milliards d’euros et est équivalente à 7,4 % du PIB en 2013 (source DGE nov 2014,) 1 245 742 emplois caractéristiques du tourisme au 31/12/12 (Mémento 2013),

285 486 entreprises en 2012 (source Insee, Esane), 10,3 milliards d'euros en 2013 en solde de la balance touristique, 12.492 milliards d’euros d'investissements dans le secteur du Tourisme en 2013. Un montant quasi équivalent aux investissements consentis dans l’Agriculture ou l’Energie et 3,5 fois supérieur à ceux de l’Automobile. Les Français préservent leur capacité de départ en vacances : le taux de départ (au moins quatre nuits consécutives pour des raisons personnelles) a augmenté au cours des dernières années, atteignant 60 % entre mi-2013 et mi-2014. Cette progression concerne toutes les catégories de revenus.

Tourism Management

Tourism Management

 

Do you have the enthusiasm and passion to convert every tourist’s dream of a perfect holiday into reality? A tourism management course abroad encourages and educates you about flexible thinking so that you can create innovative, visionary approaches based on a solid foundation of operational knowledge. You will also have the opportunity to learn and practise a new language.
A typical tourism management course abroad prepares students to enter the world's largest and most diverse industry. Tourism is the business of attracting and catering to the needs and expectations of visitors. Although the tourism industry includes transportation, travel brokers, and food and lodging, students in this program focus on the marketing and management of tourist facilities and destinations - these include government tourism divisions, hotels, resorts, convention centres, theme parks, visitor centres, cruises and airlines.
Due to its global significance, tourism often involves practices in the international arena. A tourism program could also offer overseas courses and trips, which allow students to explore a multicultural landscape in a fashion that is conducive to learning. Further, internship opportunities help you to preview the operation of interest within the tourism business in order to build a competitive edge in the chosen field of specialization, such as hotel and resort management, prior to graduation.
Tourism management courses are available at various levels, ranging from Certificate, Diploma, PG/Advanced Diploma to Bachelor and Masters programmes.
On successful completion of a tourism management programme, you can explore career opportunities such as conference centre manager, event organiser/planner/manager, tourism consultant, travel agency manager, hotel manager, assistant housing officer, marketing assistant, researcher for a state department of tourism, theme park manager, hotel manager/ assistant manager, events sales manager,  HR administrator, revenue analyst and community fundraiser.
Tourism Management is the ideal programme for those with a flair for languages, creativity, conceptual thinking, commercial insight and who are service-minded.  Attention is given to professional skills and theory, and to management skills. Emphasis is also given to the development of a proper professional and hospitable attitude to serve internal and external clients. In a typical Tourism Management course, you learn how to successfully lead a business in the international tourism and leisure industry as a manager, entrepreneur or consultant – simultaneously, learning to translate the wishes of a guest into appealing and innovative tourism concepts.
You will learn about the international tourism industry, design and planning of environmentally friendly resorts, ecotourism, motivation of travellers and factors affecting tourist behaviour. You will also gain expertise in managing visitors’ attractions, protection and management of heritage and historic sites, tourism in rural areas, and the promotion and marketing of tourism products. All this will be dealt with by critically evaluating complex relationships between different sectors of tourism, tourism destination planning organisations and local communities through the use of international case studies.
The latest sector which is growing at a rapid rate is adventure tourism. This is a great tourism management discipline to explore if you love dealing with the outdoors.
On Hotcourses India, you can find a list of leading educational institutes from the UK, USA, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore, which offer comprehensive tourism management courses.
