Although the two disciplines have some common courses and overlapping activities there are some fundamental distinctions. Hospitality Management is the management of functions and activities in places where people meet, such as a restaurants, casinos, convention centers, resorts and even shopping centers. It also involves managing operations in a hotel or resort. Tourism Management refers to the activities associated with travel planning. It involves planning the tour, making travel arrangements and providing accommodations. Tourism management also involves marketing activities aimed at attracting tourists to travel to a particular destination.

Additionally, social media and big data are generating new jobs in hospitality and tourism almost daily to market the industry and enhance experiences.
The degree will equip you with the skills and experiences needed for a successful career in either the Hospitality Industry or the Tourism Industry. Additionally, it will position you to capitalize on the many changes taking place in the industry both in Belize and globally.

Throughout my years at Galen, I have always been able to find the support I needed from my classmates and lecturers to succeed. In addition, I am currently a student employee at Galen, where I work under the Office of Marketing and Admissions. Galen has allowed me to put my Marketing and Hospitality knowledge into practice in a real-world work environment.
