Advisor leisure economics

To put a city or region on the map you connect parties such as entrepreneurs, governments, and associations. You ensure that activities and events in the fields of culture, recreation, catering, and tourism are successfully developed. You research and advise on possible target groups and their needs and wishes. You also take into account the residents and the natural surroundings.

City marketer

As a city marketer, you market a city, city district, or municipality. You have a lot of contact with residents, retailers, and catering and tourism entrepreneurs. You know exactly what is going on in the city and what is needed. You change or reinforce the existing image by setting up all kinds of activities and campaigns to attract more visitors. You work closely with the municipality, and event and marketing organizations.

Product Manager

As a product manager you are responsible for developing and putting together holidays for (online) travel organizations. You decide on all aspects of a trip, such as transport, accommodation, entertainment, and price. You take into account the competition, supply and demand, and the culture of the destination. You work with (international) local partners and purchasing and communication departments.

And there is more...

Of course you can also become an independent travel advisor, consultant, or entrepreneur. Or find a job at one of the relatively new companies that offer online platforms where the traveler can compare prices and book their holiday directly, without using a travel company. For example a data analyst.
