It has developed into a well-known tourism education and research institution at home and abroad. Sun Yat-sen University’s tourism management major ranks first among Chinese universities and colleges, according to the Research Center for China Science Evaluation (RCCSE) in 2009 and 2014.
The school recruits undergraduates, postgraduates, PhD students, post doctorates and international students. Currently the school enrolls about 300 undergraduates yearly in tourism management, hospitality management (including hotel&resort management and club management), and event management. An event management joint education “2+2” program has been developped by the school and the University of Queensland, Australia. The school also set up other international tourism programs, including a “2+2” English class in cooperation with the School of International Studies, and a “3+1” French class jointly cultivated with the University of Angers, France. Every year, 42 postgraduates are recruited in tourism management, covering study fields such as tourism planning and management, tourism Human Resource (HR) management, tourism and community development, tourism attraction, hotel and resort management, event management, strategic management of tourism enterprises, tourism and heritage protection. In 2010, the school acquired United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) certification in recognition of its quality in tourism education. In 2013, the Dean BAO Jigang was elected as the President of China Tourism Education Association (CTEA) .
The school’s academic research has a significant impact on the research fields of its kind nationwide. The quality and quantity of its national research projects and published papers as well as the paper citation rate keep topping the list over the years. In 2010, the school became the supporting unit of the Tourism Impact Research Base founded by China National Tourism Administration. It also became the unique supporting institution of Monitoring Centre for UNWTO Sustainable Observatories (MCSTO) in Asia-Pacific, which strongly promotes the theoretical and practical research of tourism science in China.
