Tourism is one of the most important economic activities in the world, not only because of its direct participation in the markets, but also because it permanently influences the improvement of the quality of life of communities, the protection of resources and the sustainability of tourist destinations. For this reason the Universidad Industrial de Santander has initiated the professional training in this important discipline, where in an articulated form between the University and the society a professionalization of the sector is envisioned, in the region, the country and the world.

In the academic program of Tourism, pedagogical practices are developed according to the guidelines of the Institutional Educational Project and the Pedagogical Model of the UIS, implementing teaching-learning strategies according to the training process based on competencies, mediation processes in the classroom and the use of new communication technologies.

The professional in Tourism of the UIS will be able to actively participate in research and extension projects that allow him/her to adapt and reinterpret culture, protect and conserve heritage, innovate products, improve destinations and especially revitalize customs and ancestral gastronomy. Likewise, it will be able to establish a direct articulation with the community of the municipality of Socorro, of the cities of the department of Santander, of Colombia and of the different nations of the world that have expressed their interest to carry out student and professor exchanges with the UIS, in the area of Tourism.
