Michelle’s Answer

Hello, Mbalenhle !

I will interpret that you mean what careers are available for historical tourism in your country and I'd like to answer that question.

In South Africa, you can choose to be in any of these careers: Travel Agent, Tour Operator, Tourism Administrator, Guest Relations Officer or a Front Desk Operator. The positions are mainly in tourism and hospitality.

If you are wondering about the courses/classes to take for history and the courses/classes to take for tourism , you can explore which classes are offered at some of your local colleges. Your colleges offer a major in Tourism and a major in History, so you can ask the school if you could major in one and minor in the other. Some of the colleges you can explore further for a Bachelors Degree in Tourism are North-West University in Mankoeng, Faculty of Science in Johannesburg, Hospitality Academy in Johannesburg, University of Pretoria in Pretoria, University of South Africa in Johannesburg, Faculty of Business and Management Sciences in Cape Town and the University of Kwazulu in Kwazulu-Natal.

I would suggest going to each of the colleges websites and read about the degrees they offer, the courses that are needed for you to take and if each college has a history department so that you can take some history courses. Find out if the colleges allow a major and a minor.

I hope that this is helpful for a start and I wish you well.

Jerry’s Answer

First: Michelle's answer is very complete, and if this is what you are interested in, I have nothing further to offer.to offer.

I took one look at your question and thought about setting you off on a different path.

Tourism and history as an interactive search. Whatever there is in history there is a tour. The Roman World. WWI and WWII. The American Revolution. The Great Wall of China. Evita and exploring Buenes Aris. The treks of the Vikings. December 7, 1941 and Pearl Harbor. Egypt, Alexandria and Cleopatra/Antony. London and the Houses of Parliament/the Left Bank of the Thames and Cleopatra's Needle (also one in Central Park NY), Nelson's Column and West End theature. Costq Rica: The land of an ocean and a sea, sloths, jungle getaways and the only nation in the Americas without a military. Morocco and its history and the Atlas Mountains and tracking. Culver City, CA: The Wizard of Oz and Laurel and Hardy. And so much more.

If I was once again your age and had asked that question I would want to be involved with the people who are in search of an historical experience. I agree with Michelle in that you ought to explore your interest at university or college. Marjor in history. Most universities will have you take a wide variety of offerings. See what strikes you and then follow it. It will come to you.

If you really are interested in history and tourism, sitting in an office and moving paper, or these days, moving spreadsheets, so be it. The other alternative id to get out there and combine your interest with other people who wish to experience at least a part of what went on in the past. There is much to offer in what others have contributed. It is an opportunity to grow not only intellectually but emotionally.

the other way to proceed is set up an organization/business that offers clients an historical experience. It would incur an enormous amount of effort and risk. But if you're the type, it could happen.

Please understand, I'm only offering this as an alternative approach to tourism and career. But I think it's much more fun.
