A leading provider of educational and training programs in the field of tourism and hospitality, BCA College’s Hospitality and Tourism Management Department combines comprehensive academic education and practical training and works with a strong international network of partners to equip the next generation of industry professionals with the skills, tools, and knowledge they will need to take Greece’s tourism sector into its next chapter.
The lack of adequately trained personnel is a major issue faced by tourism businesses, with severe implications for the sustainable development of Greece’s tourism products. Tourism education can significantly solve this problem by providing young people with the necessary knowledge and skills that our country’s tourism market desperately needs. At the same time, rapid changes in the tourism sector make continuous education, training and retraining of existing tourism employees imperative. Moreover, tourism education can offer significant employment opportunities to retired individuals.

For a successful career in tourism, professionals need to be empowered with high level academic education, language skills, knowledge of specialized tourism programs, and a broader tourism education. Crisis management skills, coordination of complex activities, communication skills, and empathy are also required.
BCA College, with its substantial understanding of the tourism sector’s needs, offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in tourism and hospitality management in collaboration with the University of West London. Notably, BCA College students can choose to study abroad in their final year, doing so at two of the world’s top ranked hospitality management schools: the Glion Institute of Higher Education and Les Roches. This incredible opportunity offers students excellent career prospects and is a significant vote of confidence in the quality of BCA College’s tourism education. BCA College further offers a range of executive education programs for reskilling and upskilling, covering various skills and specializations.
