Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree, typically requiring 3 years of higher education, although Excelia refers to it as part of a 5-year higher education cycle (common in France) — equivalent to an Indian Bachelor + Master ≈ MSc level.
Suitable bachelor’s backgrounds include tourism, hospitality, business, management, geography, urban planning, or related fields—diverse profiles are considered, especially if aligned with destination management interests.
Subject prerequisites: solid foundation in tourism principles, marketing basics, sustainable development, and analytical thinking—preferred but not strictly enforced.
