How will we support you?

As well as careers as Cabin Crew and Holiday Reps, Travel and Tourism can lead to a wide range of other careers in the areas of event & hospitality management, wedding planning, travel agencies, public relations, travel journalism and tourism marketing.

We are proud to have our students moving onto a wide range of jobs and higher education courses. The vast majority of our students’ destinations arise directly from the Travel and Tourism course they studied here at Cardinal Newman College. We believe in preparing our students for the future they want. Marketing is an important focus for any successful organisation in travel and tourism where products, services and the expectations of customers are constantly changing. Students will develop a marketing plan through examining the specific aims and objectives of the marketing function and researching the needs and expectations of different customer types. Students will develop their ability to communicate the findings of this research and use market intelligence to make recommendations about the type of marketing activities that a travel and tourism organisation should carry out. This unit is assessed internally in Year 12 by producing a portfolio of assignments. BTEC Nationals are widely recognised by industry and higher education as the signature vocational qualification at Level 3. They provide progression to the workplace either directly or via study at a higher level. Our successful alumna, Sophie, completed this course and has since progressed to the University of Northampton, studying a degree in International Tourism Management.Once you have completed this course, you will be ready to launch your career in one of the most exciting and fastest-growing industries. You may choose to work within a holiday resort, events management, an airport and much more. There are many factors that may influence global travel and tourism, and they are constantly changing. For example, severe weather events, political and economic factors; the publicity a destination receives can all affect the decisions visitors make and the way some travel and tourism organisations operate. Tourism can have a positive and a negative impact on local communities, the economy and the environment, and the issue of sustainability is a concern for many destinations, organisations and governments. You will be assessed by an exam in Year 11 which lasts two hours. https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/btec-nationals/travel-and-tourism-2019.coursematerials.html#filterQuery=category:Pearson-UK:Category%2FSpecification-and-sample-assessments
