The international tourism and hospitality industry is the world’s largest private

employer. Growth is steady. But like any dynamic industry, what’s new today is outdated tomorrow. Consolidation, realignment, globalization—all of these factors are constantly reshaping and redefining international tourism.

The Master of Tourism Administration (MTA) degree from the George Washington University School of Business offers you real-world learning opportunities to help you recognize and manage the issues and areas influencing the world of tourism: sustainable tourism, events and meetings, sport, and hospitality.

Over one billion international tourists are looking to you to help lead the way.

GW provides the opportunity for a lot of collaborative learning. We often work in groups. We work with indus-try professionals in real-world settings doing real research projects, real proposals, and plans for events. That’s an opportunity you don’t get at just any school. With GW and the connections GW has to the tourism and hospitality industry, we get to dig in and get our hands dirty doing real work.
