Hospitality Marketing (Concentration)
Overview
The BBA in Marketing - Hospitality Concentration bridges the gap between Marketing Management and Hospitality Management to help you learn important marketing strategies and tactics for your future career. You’ll get to work on real-life projects and participate in a practicum with experiential learning so you can graduate job-ready. Plus, our BBA in Marketing has multiple entry points, meaning you can transfer some of your previous education into the degree and graduate with a Bachelor’s in Marketing with a Hospitality specialty.

In your first two years, you’ll learn essential marketing and business strategies in classes like promotional strategy, buyer behavior, customer relationship management, marketing strategy, marketing research, personal selling, e-marketing and more. In your final two years, you’ll deep dive into the hospitality concentration with courses like revenue management, hospitality sales and advertising, sustainable event planning, simulation exercises, distribution management and more.
Join a growing Hospitality industry
You’ll graduate with the marketing management knowledge and skills necessary to work in tourism, restaurants, hotels, event planning and the broader hospitality service sector. In addition, you’ll be joining a huge job market, with over 14,320 jobs (BC Labour Outlook) in BC expected between now and 2027.

1. Since HOSP courses are part of a closed enrollment program, students must declare a Hospitality Marketing Concentration before they can enrol in HOSP courses. Students coming from outside Commerce and Business Administration would benefit from a knowledge of spreadsheets, marketing, and accounting before starting this concentration.
2. Because many of the HOSP courses are at the lower level (1000-2000 level), students may need to take one or more upper level courses in their Electives in order to meet the requirement that at least 12 of the 21 credits in the concentration are at the upper level (3000-4000 level). Students are advised to take note of any additional pre-requisites that may be required. This information can be found on the Douglas College Course Catalogue website.
