Traditional tourism and hospitality offerings are increasingly being confronted with the changing nature of consumer demand. Research suggests that the visitor experience is becoming more important to the consumer than is the actual destination. In such a changing business environment, leisure attractions, commercial recreation services and sports events are increasingly being used by the tourism and hospitality sectors to enhance the visitor experience. The relatively recent focus on the use of sports tourism and commercial recreation to leverage other benefits for the tourism and hospitality industry is a clear case in point that the sector is fast moving towards an experience economy. As such, the major in Commercial Recreation and Sport is designed to introduce students to the diverse range of management issues and processes related to the operation of commercial recreation services, sport operations and leisure attractions in the current global tourism environment. Opportunities exist for students to undertake workplace shadowing programs in industry, a field studies based course and there are a number of international exchange programs available.
