Master Tourisme

Master Tourisme is a two-year graduate program in tourism studies, offered in French at Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale, located in Boulogne-Sur-Mer, France. Tourism as a field of study examines how travel and hospitality industries function, covering destination management, marketing, sustainable tourism practices, event planning, and the economic and cultural impact of visitor activity on local communities. Students typically study tourism economics, hospitality management, digital marketing for tourism businesses, and the planning and promotion of tourist destinations, often working on projects tied to real locations and organizations within the tourism sector. Coursework in this field commonly blends business fundamentals such as marketing and finance with subjects specific to tourism, including heritage management, coastal and rural tourism development, and the environmental considerations that shape sustainable tourism planning. Graduates of tourism masters programs pursue careers as destination managers, tourism marketing specialists, event coordinators, or consultants working with regional tourism boards, hotels, and travel companies, and the training also supports roles in public agencies responsible for promoting tourism at the local or regional level. Since the program is delivered entirely in French, applicants should have strong French language skills for coursework, client-facing projects, and written analysis. The program begins in September and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, consistent with public tuition rates at French universities. Across the two years, students typically build from foundational tourism and business coursework toward more specialized projects tied to particular types of destinations or tourism markets. Boulogne-Sur-Mer, a coastal city in northern France, offers a relevant setting for studying tourism given its position as both a fishing port and a seaside destination.
