The Diploma in Tourism Management at the University of South Africa (Unisa) is a three-year open distance learning qualification that prepares students for management roles in South Africa's tourism sector — one of the country's most significant industries for employment and foreign exchange earnings. Students study tourism destination management, hospitality operations, tour guiding principles, event management, and tourism marketing — gaining broad competence in the practical and business dimensions of tourism. South Africa's diverse tourism offering — wildlife, adventure, cultural, heritage, and business tourism — generates strong demand for qualified tourism managers. Unisa's distance learning format allows tourism professionals already working in the industry to formalise their credentials.
Admission requirements: National Senior Certificate (NSC) with Diploma endorsement and at least 50% in the language of teaching and learning and at least 40% in Mathematics or 70% in Mathematical Literacy, or an appropriate Higher Certificate in Economic and Management Sciences.
