Bachelor in Tourismus

The Faculty of Tourism at Wakayama University is committed to delivering tourism education and research in this cutting edge field, not only to explore possibilities of tourism as a “Strategic Industry” from a business point of view but to contribute to a truly sustainable and prosperous society by encouraging urban-rural interaction and the key qualities of collaboration, multiculturalism, and diversity.

Studies in three streams: Tourism Management, Regional Revitalisation, and Tourism and Culture, will stimulate and encourage both theoretical understanding and practical development. Programs offered in English, in collaboration with leading international universities, will provide learning at a global standard. The Faculty of Tourism will continue to grow. Recognizing our place in the community, we aim to foster global human resources grounded on local values that respect diversity.

Wakayama University is the only national university in Wakayama Prefecture and it consists of four Faculties: the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Systems Engineering, and the Faculty of Tourism. Standing by our slogan, "Wakayama University wants to support you throughout your life," Wakayama University offers education and assistance with the view to developing human resources who, as members of society exploring the future on their own, have a rich sense of humanity and the qualities to promote internationalization and are capable of adequately meeting the needs of society. We also place a strong emphasis on our connection to the community and space research and education, working on a variety of initiatives and facilities development.
