The first and second years of the Bachelor's degree are open to initial training at the Mirail campus (Toulouse). The first two years of training are designed to provide the broadest possible vision, through practical and theoretical skills, of the ISTHIA's 3 areas of expertise: tourism, hotel and catering, and the social and cultural approach to food. In the field of tourism, students acquire general and technical knowledge of business management in the tourism, leisure, transport and accommodation sectors. Content relating to sustainable development enables them to grasp territorial, local and international development issues. The course also covers communication and promotion in public tourism bodies. In the hotel-restaurant field, students are familiarized with the realities and operational issues of hotel and catering companies. The course also enables students to familiarize themselves with the needs, professions and operational issues of collective catering and hotel and catering engineering in France and abroad. In the field of food, it provides students with the ability to identify the political, economic and social dynamics structuring food in a given country, region or territory. This course trains students to understand food chains, as well as consumer logics and profiles in relation to their sociological and cultural characteristics.
