WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

SDSU is shaping the future of tourism. But we can’t do it alone. We want real-time experts involved in the education process from the beginning. So industry partnership is the high priority in the HTM program. In a sense, we’re the matchmakers for industry and student, setting each up for success, then watching them grow together. As a result, the tourism industry has a hand in shaping the training of its future managers, and students are given opportunities to establish relationships with some of the most successful and prominent tourism industry leaders. Considering over half of SDSU alumni remain in the San Diego region to work, the local talent pool will grow exceptionally deep.

The HTM program will also respond to regional needs with lower recruitment costs, increased employee retention, accessible continuing education for industry employees, an exceptional pool of interns, expert industry research, niche marketing seminars, and an overall awareness of the importance of tourism in the community.
