Centennial’s Tourism diploma delivers a dynamic blend of destination marketing and travel operations training. What makes this program shine is its hands-on approach – students work with real tour operators to develop itineraries and use industry booking systems like Sabre. The curriculum covers emerging trends like sustainable tourism and cultural tourism development. While some students wish to focus more on adventure tourism, the program’s strong Toronto industry connections lead to excellent placement opportunities at Destination Toronto, major hotels, and tour companies. Many graduates credit the faculty’s real-world experience (several are former tourism board executives) for helping them land jobs before graduation. The optional co-op term is particularly valuable for building professional networks in this relationship-driven industry.
