Welcome

Welcome to the Tourism Management Institute!

TMI is the professional institute for people working in Destination Management. We are a network of over 300 tourism professionals, who share news and ideas through meetings, the weekly TM Eye e-newsletter, events and, of course, by email and direct communication. 

TMI is also committed to excellence, with the industry’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme, the newly launched TMI Postgraduate Certificate in Destination Management and a new Postgraduate Diploma and Masters Award in development. In addition, our website now offers members a personal CPD recording facility, plus a CPD newsletter, Destination Matters (3 issues per year).

Our two annual events are a ‘hot topic’event in late spring and a 2-day convention in the autumn.  The convention is considered to be one of the high spots of the year, with a fitting mix of case studies, learning and networking. Both events are offered at significantly reduced rates for TMI members.
 
Finally there are our four working groups, each working with partners to deliver the best for the industry - policy & advocacy; communications; events; and continuing professional development (CPD).
 
Full Membership rates start at just £85 per annum (excl vat). Joining is simple too, just a short online form to complete. If you require further information please contact membership@tmi.org.uk

DEVELOP YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE

At a time when many organisations are making cut backs and redundancies, it is crucial to keep your professional skills and knowledge at a high level. TMI have developed qualifications and training opportunities to give members just this. We are currently offering the TMI Post Graduate Certificate in Destination Management, and coming on stream in January 09 will be the TMI Postgraduate Diploma and MSc in Destination Management. All the qualifications can be studied by distance learning as individual modules or by building up, with a final dissertation for the MSc qualification. To read more about the qualifications, time commitment and how the current students are finding the course, please click here.

 

Maureen Rigg of One North East said of the Postgraduate Certificate course, “Being able to gain a more in depth knowledge of where tourism has come from, how it has developed and what the future potentially holds is fascinating and hopefully will enable me to play a far more proactive/supportive role in the work of the team."

 

The next full PG Certificate course starts in September 2009 and applications are welcome from now on. For an informal chat, contact Dr. Philip Long at Leeds Metropolitan University or Cathy Guthrie, TMI CPD Co-ordinator.
