Do you study tourism management to become a travel agent in the future? Hotel? Tourist attractions? These majors have strong requirements for tourism management, but it also depends on the position you are engaged in. For example, the professional requirements of such work as tour route planning, planning and scenic spot planning are very strong, while others, such as hotel work and tour guide, are not necessarily engaged in tourism management at all.
Basic knowledge: fundamentals of management and introduction to tourism. If you want the direction of travel agencies, you should also have travel agency management, and the direction of hotels should have hotel management.
general books in management disciplines: management basics, microeconomics and macroeconomics (almost all of them are in management, and advanced mathematics is required if they are undergraduate majors)
while professional books related to tourism management probably include: introduction to tourism, tour guide business, knowledge base of national tour guides, travel agency management, hotel management, catering management, scenic spot management, tourism resource development, planning and development of scenic spots, and tourism economics. There are many professional books on tourism management, but the basic theories adopted are all extended from the introduction to tourism.
There are other miscellaneous knowledge: accounting foundation, statistics foundation, marketing foundation and human resource management foundation.
