Tourism is about more than hotels, restaurants and resorts. It's excursion and adventure tour companies, bed and breakfasts, experiences and memories that last a lifetime. Tourism is the world's largest service industry and careers in tourism and hospitality are available locally and around the world. In Nova Scotia, the tourism and hospitality industry is an exciting, vibrant and rapidly growing sector. Students in this program benefit from small class sizes and faculty who have a wide range of research interests and industry experience. At the Mount, students will gain relevant work experience while they study through the co-operative education or practica programs. Growing industry network is an important part of being a Mount student, and the faculty and staff make every effort to ensure students have ample opportunities to connect with industry professionals at various points throughout the year.
