TOUR-1004Event Planning
Whether it is to market an organization, promote community
initiatives, raise funds, or celebrate life events, there are many
opportunities to facilitate the gathering of people in the various hospitality
and tourism sectors. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to
research, design and plan an event to meet the goals of the client and the
needs of the attendees. By working on
various committees, students will further develop problem solving, teamwork and
workload management skills. Theory and assignments from the Catering course in year 1 will be
applied to the planning process. Additional project work completed in this course will be carried forward
and applied in the next term to coordinate and produce the event in the Events Management course.
Students are evaluated on professionalism and the quality and quantity of work
products in planning the event.
