Why travel and tourism

Plymouth’s profile as a top tourism destination is on the rise, and with that comes job opportunities! Whether you wish to work close to home, or if you dream of warmer – or colder – climates, our industry-experienced lecturers are here to make that happen.

Travel and tourism is a hugely important contributor to the UK economy, and you could be a part of this industry and find future opportunities with travel companies, airlines, theme parks, zoos and more.

Our fantastic facilities include a fully equipped mock air cabin, providing a realistic working environment as you train, and you will be able to expand your knowledge thanks to regular visits from industry speakers, conferences and industry-preparation days, all of which will support you as you take off towards a fantastic career.
