University of Strathclyde Business School

Hospitality & Tourism is a sector that is at the heart of many of the big moments in modern life such as the 2012 Olympic Games, the 2014 Commonwealth Games here in Glasgow, ‘T’ in the Park, a fun week with your pals in Ibiza or a dream holiday in the Maldives. Hospitality & Tourism constitutes the largest and fastest-growing sector of the Scottish and global economies, generating over £5 billion to the Scottish economy and creating 1 in 10 jobs. By 2013 the global hospitality and tourism sector is forecast to be worth $2.5 trillion.
