Practical experience
Field Trips
Several units are intensive field trips (HGA501/Sustainable Tourism, Critical and HGA601/Contest Issues in Cultural Heritage and HGA502/Global Issues in Tourism) and are conducted in-situ at Cradle Mountain, Port Arthur Historic Site and Darlinghurst, Sydney. You will have the chance to be co-taught by managers in these locations and be exposed to real life management issues. You will also learn about global experiences from international scholars. These immersive experiences will maximise your ability to understand the practical realities of your related industry and interact and network with business professionals.
Internship
HGA710 Tourism Industry Internship unit gives the opportunity to undertake an internship at a tourism business. This may be self-organised, or organised by coordinators, depending on your employment situation. You will undertake a standalone project, with defined objectives and outcomes to be determined in consultation with managers from the business and the unit coordinator. You will be assigned an Industry Mentor from within the organisation who will support you and provide an assessment on your performance.
Business Incubator
During HGA713 Tourism Venture Creation, you’ll learn about start-ups and the challenges and opportunities faced in the tourism industry. You will learn about the challenges that are particular to tourism, given the transitory, rapidly changing nature of the industry and its extreme diversity. You will develop a tourism business model, pitch and market the idea, and ultimately will be given the chance to pitch their ideas before a panel of active investors from within the tourism industry.
