As with all Alberta Education CTS courses, TOU1010 - The Tourism Sector should take about 16-25 hours to complete. This includes all readings and the final project.

If students have not submitted any assignments to ADLC within 60-days from the registration date or from the last marked assignment, they will automatically be withdrawn from the course.


There are 3 Self-Assessment Journal Entries, one after each Unit, worth 10 marks each. Provided you submit a complete personal journal entry, you will receive the full 10 marks for each journal entry. 

At the end of the 3rd unit, there is a 3-part Final Project. Since this is a project-based course with numerous components, it is worth 90% of your course mark.
