This Dual Credit Hospitality, Tourism & Marketing program combines two courses from SAIT’s School of Hospitality and Tourism, Introduction to Hospitality and Tourism and Brand and Guest Experience.
Introduction to Hospitality and Tourism ( HOSP 200 ) explores the various sectors of the hospitality and tourism industry, the links between the sectors, and the benefits and impact of the industry on the economy, the environment and employment.
In Brand and Guest Experience ( MKTG 200 ), students will be introduced to branding, marketing and experience design within the tourism and hospitality industry. Students will explore the impact that a brand can have on guest experience and give a competitive edge in this revitalized industry.
