George Brown College shapes the future generation of tourism professionals who are passionate, people-focused, motivated and committed to supporting growth and sustainability at the local, national and international levels. With a blend of theoretical learning, real-world experience, field trips and practical labs, the two-year Tourism and Hospitality Management (H130) diploma program prepares you for a variety of positions in this exciting and diverse industry.    

In your first year, you will gain knowledge in hotels, event planning, tourism, and food and beverages with a range of practical and theoretical courses.

With courses in culinary tourism, heritage tourism, sustainable tourism and international tourism, you will gain the knowledge and transferable skills needed for a successful career with travel and tour companies, hotels and resorts, airlines and other organizations.  

This program allows you to switch to any of our hospitality and tourism management diploma programs by your second year should your hospitality area of interest change.
