دراسة السياحة وإدارة الضيافة في الصين

Where to study

Sun Yat-sen University's School of Tourism Management is the top-ranked tourism school in China and is well known internationally. Beijing International Studies University is the strongest for tourism in the capital and for hospitality operations. Zhejiang University and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics also run strong programmes.

Shanghai Normal University and Guilin University of Technology are known for tourism with a heritage or nature-tourism focus.

What is studied

Tourism economics and policy, destination management and marketing, hospitality operations, event and conference management, cultural heritage and tourism, and increasingly digital tourism and platform economics — an area where China leads, given the dominance of Ctrip/Trip.com, Meituan and Douyin in travel booking.

Chinese tourism research on domestic travel behaviour at scale is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Career paths

International hotel groups operating in China, online travel platforms expanding internationally, airlines, destination marketing organisations, and cultural heritage and museum management. Chinese language ability is a major advantage for roles bridging China and international markets.
