With the increased touristic activity over the past century, the higher emphasis on its importance and the economic development resulted from this field (5% of the worldwide GDP), Tourism has developed also into an important study discipline. There are countless different aspects to Tourism and such also the specialization option for a Tourism student. Some of the most popular are travel agent, hotel and resort staff or tour guide, but the possibilities stretch as far as restaurant management or transportation professional. A career in Tourism requires people-oriented skills above any task related technical competencies.
Strongly related with the broad discipline in question, Sport Science is also a very well developed branch. With professions like sports coach or trainer to therapist or nutritionist, Sports Science offers many specialization opportunities as well.
Combining the art of relaxation, with the competencies needed to manage the touristic industry, the discipline of Hospitality, Sports, Recreation and Tourism can be a great study choice for a person looking for an applied science profession.
