Why did the other students choose the Tourism as their course?

My daughter studied tourism at a TAFE in Australia.
She chose it because we live in a coastal area that relies on tourism to keep the economy afloat.
She knew she could get work locally and (as she wants to travel) anywhere in the world.
The Tourism Course itself covers a lot of different job areas, so you can branch out a little too.
Hope this is of help.

Tourism is the act of travel for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes, and also refers to the provision of services in support of this act

As a service industry, tourism has numerous tangible and intangible elements. Major tangible elements include transportation, accommodation, and other components of a hospitality industry. Major intangible elements relate to the purpose or motivation for becoming a tourist, such as rest, relaxation, the opportunity to meet new people and experience other cultures, or simply to do something different and have an adventure

Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment and economic advancement by working in the industry. For these reasons NGOs and government agencies may sometimes promote a specific region as a tourist destination, and support the development of a tourism industry in that area. The contemporary phenomenon of mass tourism may sometimes result in overdevelopment, however alternative forms of tourism such as ecotourism seek to avoid such outcomes by pursuing tourism in a sustainable way
