At the CBS, you will learn about the tourism business thoroughly and firsthand from experts with practical experience.

In the second part of the course, the learning content will be deepened and broadened to include topics from tourism marketing such as social media, event and trade fair management. And: Now it is also necessary to apply acquired knowledge to current problems and issues in the tourism sector.
