Northumbria University graduate tutor Kate Harland, who also sits on the ITT’s education and training committee, told delegates there was still an "appetite" from students to study tourism degrees. "The passion and the will to study tourism hasn’t gone away," said Harland.
"Even though Covid has affected us, it hasn’t affected the numbers that want to come in and study tourism so the appetite is still there, the students are still there, which means you have new talent coming into the industry."
