Bachelor in BTS - Services - Tourisme

BTS Tourisme is a two-year technical diploma in tourism and travel services management, taught in French at Institut Limayrac in Toulouse, France. The tourism field covers the planning, organisation, and delivery of travel experiences for individuals and groups, spanning leisure tourism, business travel, cultural visits, and destination management. Students study tourism geography, travel product design and packaging, client relations and sales, the legal and regulatory framework for the travel industry, reservation and booking systems, and tourism marketing. Foreign language skills, particularly English, are an integral part of the curriculum given the international nature of the sector. The programme prepares graduates for operational and commercial roles in travel agencies, tour operators, national and regional tourism offices, airlines, cruise companies, and hospitality organisations. Entry-level positions typically include travel consultant, tour coordinator, tourism information officer, and business travel manager. The BTS Tourisme is a widely recognised qualification in France and provides either a direct route to employment in the tourism and hospitality sector or a foundation for a licence professionnelle in tourism management. The programme lasts 2 years, begins in September, and all courses are delivered in French. Toulouse and the surrounding Occitanie region are significant tourist destinations, providing a relevant local context for students entering this field.
