This is an in depth program that covers three key locations for a New Zealand Tourist. Students learn practical skills to help them plan trips to key international, national and local Tourism locations. This includes Pacific Islands, Australia and Rotorua.

In this course you will learn the skills and knowledge required to work in the tourism industry. Students will learn to plan tours, promote tourist material, write itineraries and plan trips (Finding fights, accommodation, airport transfers).
