New Tourism Career Advancement Programs in Canada!

Planning your next career move?  Know of a friend, colleague or employee
who is seriously considering post-secondary education to advance their
career? If you answered yes, then the fall programs at Royal Roads
University may be just the answer.  As the only Faculty of Tourism and
Hotel Management in Canada, and a University that is also responsible
for the stewardship of Hatley Park National Historic Site, one of
Canada's largest and most diverse treasures, we are uniquely a tourism
educator and operator. We understand the business; we understand the
need for qualified professionals to support our operations and industry.

Our programs have been designed with industry and your career needs in
mind. Our short, on-campus residencies, combined with online learning
create the ideal environment for balancing work, family and studying.
Quite simply, we have reviewed the options available across Canada, met
with hundreds of people in the industry, businesses and potential
students and are delighted that we are introducing unique programs that
will help you build your professional credentials, advance your tourism
career, and continue to work while you study. We are presently accepting
applications for the following programs:

NEW:  Graduate Certificate in Tourism Leadership:  The program starts 24
Oct 2007 and includes an 8-day residency in Victoria, B.C. (03 - 10 Nov,
2007) and the balance is completed on-line. Domestic Tuition: $5,100.

We are also seeking approval to introduce a MA in Tourism Management
and a Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Tourism for the fall of 2008
and the program has been designed so that the two graduate certificates
we launch this year will be eligible to ladder into the degree for those
who would like to continue on and obtain the master's degree.

The Royal Roads Value Proposition

With so many educational options available, why choose Royal Roads
University?  Here are some of the attributes that set us apart:

*	Program schedules that respect industry cycles - We launch most
of our programs in October so that those working industry are able to
focus on their high operating season when it is most critical for their
business, their community.  We also factor in major industry events when
planning program launch dates and assignments so that, where possible,
we are able to help you balance work and studying.=20
*	A Unique Learning Community - Our faculty bring hands-on
experience from the workplace deliver our programs with the classroom
(whether physical or virtual) becoming a powerful learning environment.=20
*	Advancing the Practice of Tourism and Hospitality Management -
we deliver rigorous, applied programs where knowledge and information
can immediately be put into action, both in the workplace and community.
Our programs develop the ability to think critically, solve complex
problems, and communicate effectively at the individual, organizational
and industry levels.=20
*	Professional Networking - Our blended model of short-term
residencies, combined with on-line learning present opportunities to
work with a range of faculty, fellow learners, guest speakers, and
experience the destination.=20
*	We are a tourism educator and operator - Our University is
located on Hatley Park National Historic Site, one of the largest and
most exquisite sites in Canada (www.hatleypark.ca). Our faculty has two
divisions, the school responsible for academic programming, the tourism
division responsible for our visitor services that includes: a daily
visitor interpretation service, weddings, conference, meetings,
incentive travel, special events and annual festivals.  Future
infrastructure developments for the Hatley Park campus include a 150
accommodation and conference centre on site, as well as the Robert
Bateman Art and Environmental Centre with an art gallery and studio that
will celebrate the life works of this renowned Canadian artist and
naturalist and a new academic building.
