Tourism and events are among the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy (UNWTO.2023), with destinations adopting event-led tourism strategies as a means to enhance location awareness and reputation and to bring about positive social and economic impact. This is an exciting time for events organisers and tourism specialists to combine their skills and become part of this movement.

Tourism supports one in 10 jobs and provides livelihoods for many millions more in both developing and developed economies (unwto.2022). Informed by industry demand and the array of job opportunities available, Glasgow Caledonian University's MSc International Tourism and Events Management programme delivers the practical and technical experience that you need to maximise the opportunities this growing sector has to offer.
