It has developed on a great scale in different parts of the world in the last decades. Moreover, it provides many direct and indirect employment opportunities and boost the local and regional economies.
However, The increasing numbers of inbound international tourists to Jordan every year and also the growth in the number of tourist activities (Hotels, Travel Agencies, Car Rental Companies, Restaurants, and Handicraft Shops) encouraged us to develop the status quo of the current study plans and programs. The Main purpose for such development is to provide more developed, appropriate and realistic programs and study plans.
The department vision is to launch current, contemporary and high qualified academic degrees to meet the labour market expectations. Therefore, the department has started with the new program of B.A. In Tourism Management and it will be followed by others like Hotel Management and Event Management.
In this program, the concentration will be on building the strong partnerships with main stakeholders in the industry. This aims to share knowledge and experience in order to enrich the theoretical and practical knowledge for the students.
For these purposes, we have drawn road map to guide the department in the coming years. The plan is made to be compliant with the general framework that New College of Archaeology and Tourism aims to adopt
This plan will help to guide the department toward the development by identifying the points of strength and weakness, and also provide the effective strategies that help to meet the various challenges and to take the right actions that lead to improvement and growth.
The plan emphasizes the importance of setting a long-term strategy, for the faculty as a whole, which defines the main steps that should be taken in the next 10 years and the resources that must be allocated for implementing such a strategy.
It recognizes also the need to support the studies and scientific researches in the faculty by encouraging the academic staff members to take the initiative in this regard.
The department recognizes its role in transferring the best practice and techniques to develop this vital industry, and providing the innovative solutions to the problems that tourism confronts. This also includes the vital role played in offering the necessary support for the local community in enhancing their members’ work skills and thereby opening more future horizons regarding employment opportunities. | Undergraduate | Cultural Resources Management and Conservation | | Cultural Resources Management and Conservation | | | | The Department of Tourism Management was established at the School of Archaeology and Tourism
at the University of Jordan to keep abreast of developments in the tourism and hospitality sector in the
region in general and Jordan in particular; where the tourism and hospitality industry in Jordan has
developed in an unprecedented manner and tourism revenues and employment ratios have increased.
Tourism investment in Jordan has also rebounded, and the number of hotels, restaurants, cafes, travel
agencies, airlines and other hotels has increased in Jordan.
The development of the tourism and hospitality sector needs to prepare and qualify human resources
able to work and engage in various jobs and professions of the industry. In this sense, it is necessary to
establish and develop academic and training programs for the various professions involved in the
tourism and hospitality sectors. Hence the need to develop academic programs for teaching tourism in
the Department of Tourism Management at the School of Archaeology and Tourism, and keep abreast
of the rapid developments in the tourism industry in quantity and quality.
There has been an increase in interest in this sector as the number of tourists and the accompanying
boom in the number of tourist establishments (e.g. tourist hotels, tourist restaurants, tourist transport,
tourist and travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, etc.) and the growing threat to tourist sites, which
created an increasing need to develop educational and training programs aimed at creating qualified
human resources to work in the tourism sectors.
The ongoing development of existing programs in the department and the establishment of new
programs such as hotel management program is the nucleus of the department to develop the reality and
prospects of teaching and tourism training and hotel in the faculty, to graduate qualified human
resources who are able to engage in the tourism market at the international, regional or local level. There
is also a need to develop e-tourism applications in the sector with the emergence of the role and means
of social communication and Internet applications in the development of the reality of supply and
demand for tourism where the existing plans have been developed to cope with such developments and
focus on the importance of developing the reality of e-tourism in Jordan through the development of
curricula for such a vital subject.
