    If a NA degree works for you, Columbia Southern University has an MBA Concentration in Hospitality and Tourism (http://www.colsouth.edu/programs/mba_hospitality.asp). They also have it as a graduate certificate. I have been drooling over this but am too busy to enroll in it. The cost is very reasonable also.

    I would suppose Tourism could be a concentration within an MPA degree, in the sense that tourism could be one sub-category of economic development planning. There are some foreign (non-US) MBA in Tourism & Hospitality degrees, comparable to our MBA in Hotel & Restaurant Management degrees. There are also some foreign (non-US) History departments offering the MA in Heritage & Tourism. So, there are many departments/schools that could handle Tourism programs.

    Interesting thoughts... I was thinking that the MA in Tourism may not give the poster much breadth for the job market.

    Really? It's not a small industry, and in many countries it's the dominant one. It's not my cup of tea, but I could see people wanting to specialize in it.
