The 'Tourism Risk Management' course at Stanmore School of Business was an eye-opener for me. As someone working in China's booming tourism sector, I needed to better understand risk assessment and crisis management. The modules on health and safety protocols, natural disaster preparedness, and cybersecurity in tourism were incredibly practical. I particularly benefited from the case study on managing a SARS-like outbreak in a popular tourist destination—this directly relates to my work in Beijing's travel agencies. The course materials were well-structured, with real-world examples that made complex concepts easy to grasp. Highly recommend for anyone in the industry!
I took this course to pivot into a risk management role in Mexico’s hospitality industry, and it delivered. The sections on legal liabilities and insurance in tourism were spot-on for my needs. I appreciated how the course balanced theory with actionable steps—I now feel confident in drafting risk mitigation plans for resorts in Cancún. The quizzes and assignments were challenging but fair, and the instructor’s feedback was always constructive. My only gripe is that some video lectures could be updated, but overall, a solid investment.
Wow, this course exceeded my expectations! As a tour operator in Lagos, I deal with everything from political unrest to extreme weather—this course gave me the tools to handle it all. The module on terrorism threats and kidnap-and-ransom scenarios was especially eye-opening; I’ve already revised my company’s safety protocols based on what I learned. The case studies from Kenya and South Africa were relatable, given Nigeria’s tourism challenges. The instructors were responsive, and the discussion forums were full of insights from peers across Africa. 10/10!
Enrolling in this course was one of the best career moves I’ve made. As a travel consultant in Paris, I wanted to specialize in high-risk destinations, and this course provided exactly that. The deep dive into pandemic response plans (thank you, COVID-19 lessons!) was invaluable—I now guide clients on safer travel options with confidence. The materials were thorough, though I wish there were more French-language resources. The final project, where I designed a risk management plan for a fictional European tour operator, was a great way to apply everything I learned. Well worth the time and effort!
