3TOU - Level 3 Tourism

Tourism is one of New Zealand's largest industries and employs 7.5% of the workforce. Tourism offers students an insight into the knowledge and skills required to pursue a career in the tourism sector.

This course includes an optional overnight field trip in the Abel Tasman, learning about Māori tourism, culture and language from a waka ama experience with a local company. There are 10 extra credits associated with this trip. 

When in the classroom, students learn about travelling New Zealand (Queenstown), overseas (South Pacific and Asia) and some of the economic impacts from tourism, locally and globally. 

This course provides students with an opportunity to identify next steps beyond school, within the tourism sector and beyond.
