The Tourism and Hospitality Management Unit of the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce at the University of Jaffna has grown into a vibrant academic hub with a journey marked by passion and progress. The Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Tourism and Hospitality Management was officially approved by the University Grants Commission in 2019, paving the way for a new era of tourism education. In 2020, under the leadership of Prof. S. Sivesan, the programme began to take shape, followed by the development of a comprehensive curriculum in 2021 and the commencement of academic activities in the same year. Adding vibrancy to its journey, the Unit launched a dynamic series of hybrid seminars and workshops titled “Catch Your Right Path for a Better Future”, featuring renowned global and local experts such as Keir Reeves, Y. Venkata Rao, Yanki Hartijasti, Sunil Dissanayake, and Amarasinghe from Jaffna International Airport. By 2023, the Unit proudly organized engaging events such as the Food Festival and World Tourism Day celebrations centered on tourism and the green environment, while also welcoming its very first cohort of 24 students into the honours degree programme. The momentum continued in 2024 with World Tourism Day celebrated under the inspiring theme of Tourism and Peace, alongside an ongoing series of enriching seminars throughout the year. Marking a significant milestone, the Unit proudly produced its first batch of 24 graduates at the 40th General Convocation in 2026, symbolizing its commitment to shaping future leaders in tourism and hospitality with excellence and vision.
