Bachelor in BTS - Services - Tourisme

Tourism programs train students to work in the travel, hospitality, and destination management industries. Coursework at this level typically covers the geography and economics of tourism, tourist behavior and motivation, heritage and cultural tourism management, transport and hotel operations, travel agency management, event coordination, and customer service, alongside language skills and digital tools used in the sector. The BTS Tourisme — Brevet de Technicien Supérieur, a two-year higher technician certificate in tourism services — at Institut Sainte Marie de Chavagnes, in Cannes, France, is a bachelor-level vocational qualification delivered in French over 2 years, beginning in September. No yearly tuition figure is listed in this program record. Cannes is internationally associated with major conferences, film festivals, and leisure tourism, offering students direct professional proximity to large-scale tourism events and the hospitality structures that support them. The BTS is a vocationally focused qualification that combines classroom learning with practical professional experience, typically including periods of placement in relevant industry settings. Graduates find employment as travel consultants, tour operators, visitor attraction staff, conference coordinators, hotel reservation managers, and destination services assistants. Some graduates continue their studies with a licence professionnelle or bachelor in tourism management to access supervisory or management roles. The BTS qualification is recognized by French employers as a professional credential suited to immediate entry into the tourism and hospitality workforce.
