Course Overview

About BBA in Tourism Course

BBA in Tourism is a 3-year full-time undergraduate degree that builds your understanding of guest service, travel operations and running service businesses well, with Tourism as the main subject through all 6 semesters.

Teaching combines classroom sessions with front office and service labs, food and beverage practicals and itinerary and booking exercises, so what you learn in theory is immediately practised. You finish with BBA Degree and a record of work you can show to an employer or a university.

The value of BBA in Tourism

  • A single clear subject focus: Tourism, studied properly for 3 years rather than spread thin.
  • Practical work every semester — front office and service labs, food and beverage practicals and itinerary and booking exercises — so you can show what you can do, not only what you studied.
  • Subject choices that stay relevant: Commerce, Accounting and Taxation.
  • A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
  • Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.

What you will be able to do

  • Handle guests and service situations professionally in the context of Tourism.
  • Run front-office and reservation systems in the context of Tourism.
  • Plan itineraries, events and costings in the context of Tourism.
  • Maintain service quality and hygiene standards in the context of Tourism.
  • Complete a Tourism project or internship and present it to faculty.
Faculty access

Batch sizes stay small enough that Tourism faculty know each student, review project work individually and are reachable outside class hours.

Practice-led teaching

front office and service labs, food and beverage practicals and itinerary and booking exercises are scheduled into the timetable, not added on. Assessment runs continuously through the semester.

Career preparation

Resume writing, communication and interview practice are part of the programme, aimed at the roles BBA in Tourism graduates actually apply for.

Namchi campus

Classes for Tourism run on the Namchi campus at Assangthang, with classrooms, library and laboratory facilities on site.
