1. Overview of the program


 About the program and its main themes


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.


Program Vision


Access to a modern and advanced education in the field of tourism.


Program message



The Department of Tourism Management offers a distinctive tourism education package that meets


international standards by providing the scientific, applied and research environment necessary to


develop the skills and abilities of the students in a manner that positively reflects their performance in


the future labour markets and their role in building and developing the Jordanian tourism product


correctly.


Program Goals



The development of the tourism industry in Jordan and related sectors creates the urgent need to provide


human resources capable of working in the various professions of these sectors, which are considered


intensive for employment. The strategic importance of the tourism industry in injecting the local


economy in Jordan through the provision of hard currency requires more attention to the reality and


prospects of human resources involved in the tourism industry. Based on the above, the main objectives


of the Tourism Management Department can be summarized as follows:


o Presenting modern tourism teaching and training programs that keep pace with the latest


developments and changes in the tourism industry.


o Providing students with the necessary skills to qualify them to join the labour market in the various


sectors of tourism and hospitality industry.


o Linking theoretical and practical education in a way that will facilitate students' access to tourism


professions.


o Contributing to the development of tourism education and training in Jordan.​
